[Eb]
And now my friends you've asked me [Ab] what makes me [Eb] sad still
And why my brow is darkened [Bb] like the clouds upon [Eb] the hill
[Ab] Run in your [Eb] ponies closer and [Ab] I'll tell to you [Eb] my tale
Of Utah Care my partner [Bb] and his last ride on [Eb] the trail
We rode the range together, [Ab] had a roadside [Eb] beside
I loved him like a brother [Bb] and I wept when [Eb] Utah died
[Ab] We were rounding up [Eb] one morning [Ab] when work was [Eb] almost done
When on his side the cattle [Bb] started on a [Eb] frightened run
Underneath [Bb] the saddle that [Ab] the boss's [Eb] daughter rode
Utah that very morning [Bb] had placed a bright [Eb] red robe
So [Ab] the saddle might [Eb] ride easy [Ab] for Lenore his little [Eb] friend
And it was this red blanket [Bb] that brought him to [Eb] his end
The blanket was now dragging [Ab] behind her on [Eb] the ground
The frightened cattle saw it [Bb] and charged it with [Eb] a bound
[Ab] Lenore then saw [Eb] her danger [Ab] and turned her [Eb] ponies face
And leaning [Bb] [Eb] in the saddle [Bb] tied the blanket to [Eb] its place
But in leaning lost her balance fell in front [Ab] of that [Eb] wild tide
Lay still Lenore I'm coming were [Bb] the words that Utah [Eb] cried
[Ab] His faithful [Eb] ponies saw her [Ab] and reached her with [Eb] a bound
I thought [Bb] he'd been [Eb] successful [Bb] and raised her from [Eb] the ground
But the weight upon the saddle [Ab] had not been felt [Eb] before
His back since snapped like thunder [Bb] and he fell by [Eb] Lenore
[Ab] Picking up [Eb] the blanket [Ab] he swung it over [Eb] his head
And started across the prairie [Bb] lay still Lenore [Eb] he said
When he got the stamp he turned [Ab] and saved Lenore [Eb] his friend
Then turned [Bb] to face [Eb] the cattle [Bb] and meet his fatal [Eb] end
[Ab] His six gun flashed [Eb] like lightning the [Ab] report rang loud [Eb] and clear
As the cattle [Bb] rushed [Eb] and killed him he [Bb] dropped the leading [Eb] steer
On his funeral morning [Ab] I heard the preacher [Eb] say
I hope we'll all meet Utah at [Bb] the roundup far [Eb] away
Then they [Ab] wrapped him in a [Eb] blanket [Ab] that saved his little [Eb] friend
And it was this red blanket that [Bb] brought him to [Eb] his end
And now my friends you've asked me [Ab] what makes me [Eb] sad still
And why my brow is darkened [Bb] like the clouds upon [Eb] the hill
