Verse 1
E
A
E
B
E
And now, my friends,
you ask me
A
E
what makes me sad and still
A
E
And why my brow is darkened
F#
like clouds upon the hill
B
E
Run in your pony closer
A
and I'll tell you all the tale
E
A
E
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
B
E
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
A
of Mexico's fair land
E
A
E
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
F#
many a herd and many a brand
B
E
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
A
E
neither date nor name
A
E
There lies my partner sleeping in
B
E
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
A
E
and rode it side by side
A
E
I loved him as a brother,
F#
I wept when Utah died
B
E
We were rounding up one morning,
A
E
our work was almost done.
A
Went away the cattle
B
E
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
A
E
was holding on that side.
A
E
She started in to turn them,
F#
B
that's where my partner died.
E
She used a saddle blanket
A
E
given her by a friend.
A
E
It was this bright red blanket
B
E
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
A
E
at the cattle on the right
A
E
The blanket slipped beneath her
F#
and cut the stirrup tight
B
E
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
A
they all held their breath
E
A
E
If now should the pony fail her,
B
E
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
A
E
she turned her pony's face
A
E
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
F#
the blanket in its place
B
E
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
A
fell in front of that wild tide
E
A
E
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
B
E
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
A
E
Utah come ridin' fast
A
E
Though he never saw that mo ment,
F#
B
the ride would be his last
E
His pony reached Farrell
A
with firm and steady bound
E
A
E
He swung from out the saddle
B
E
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
A
had not been felt before
E
A
E
and his backstitch snapped asunder
F#
and he fell beside Barrow.
B
E
He now picked up the blanket
A
E
and swung it over his head
A
E
and started across the prairie
B
E
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
A
the report rang loud and clear
E
A
as the cattle rushed to kill him
E
F#
B
he dropped the leading steer
E
and when we broke the circle
A
where Utah's body lay
E
A
E
with many a wound and bruise,
B
E
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
A
I heard the preacher say
E
A
E
I hope we'll all meet Utah
B
F#
at the roundup far away
B
E
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
A
set him by his little friend
E
A
And was that very blanket
E
B
E
A
E
B
E
that brought Utah to his end
