And now, my friends,
you ask me
Bb
F
what makes me sad and still

And why my brow is darkened
G
like clouds upon the hill
C
F
Run in your pony closer
Bb
and I'll tell you all the tale
F
Bb
F
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
C
F
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
F
Bb
F
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
G
many a herd and many a brand
C
F
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
Bb
F
neither date nor name
Bb
F
There lies my partner sleeping in
C
F
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
Bb
F
and rode it side by side
Bb
F
I loved him as a brother,
C
F
We were rounding up one morning,
Bb
F
our work was almost done.
C
F
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
Bb
F
was holding on that side.
Bb
F
She started in to turn them,
G
C
that's where my partner died.
F
She used a saddle blanket
Bb
F
given her by a friend.
Bb
F
It was this bright red blanket
C
F
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
Bb
F
at the cattle on the right
Bb
F
The blanket slipped beneath her
G
and cut the stirrup tight
C
F
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
Bb
they all held their breath
F
Bb
F
If now should the pony fail her,
C
F
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Bb
F
she turned her pony's face
Bb
F
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
C
F
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
Bb
fell in front of that wild tide
F
Bb
F
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
C
F
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
Bb
F
Utah come ridin' fast
Bb
F
Though he never saw that mo ment,
G
C
the ride would be his last
Bb
with firm and steady bound
F
Bb
F
He swung from out the saddle
C
F
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
Bb
had not been felt before
F
Bb
F
and his backstitch snapped asunder
G
and he fell beside Barrow.
C
F
He now picked up the blanket
Bb
F
and swung it over his head
Bb
F
and started across the prairie
C
F
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
Bb
the report rang loud and clear

as the cattle rushed to kill him
F
G
C
he dropped the leading steer
F
and when we broke the circle
F
Bb
F
with many a wound and bruise,
C
F
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
Bb
I heard the preacher say
F
Bb
F
I hope we'll all meet Utah
C
G
at the roundup far away
C
F
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
Bb
set him by his little friend
F
Bb
And was that very blanket
F
C
F
Bb
F
C
F
that brought Utah to his end
