Subject: RE: Origins: Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie
I guess the inverse (or converse, whichever) of the thought here is found in I've Got No Use For the Women", sometimes called by Bury Me Out On The Prairie.

The narrator/singer has (surprise!) no use for the women, because a woman caused the fall of his cowboy friend, who killed a gambler who insulted her picture, was hunted and shot down by a posse, and who WANTED to be buried out on the prairie. He asked to be covered over with boulders, so that the coyotes couldn't disturb his bones.

This is one of my favorite cowbow songs.

This good old tearjerker is found in the DT, HERE
