GUEST,D. Kingsley Hahn Origins: Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie (120* d) RE: Origins: Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie 27 Mar 23


The old radio program "Red Ryder" used a striking orchestral version of the tune to introduce each program. Somewhat ironic, for a children's "cowboy" show, to utilize a "lament" for an otherwise upbeat show.

And I noticed only a couple passing references to the similar tune, "Going To Leave Old Texas Now":

"I'm going to leave old Texas now
They have no use for the long-horn cow
They've plowed and fenced my cattle range
And the people there are all so strange."

A deviation from a burial request; but still a mournful farewell.
