1
And now, my friends, you've asked me what makes me sad and still
2
And why my brow is darkened like the clouds upon the hill
3
Run in your ponies closer and I'll tell to you my tale
4
Of Utah Carol my partner and his last ride on the trail
5
We rode the range together and rode it side by side
6
I loved him like a brother and I wept when Utah died
7
We were rounding up one morning when work was almost done
8
When on his side the cattle started on a frightened run
9
Underneath the saddle that the boss's daughter rode
10
Utah, that very morning had placed a bright red robe
11
So, the saddle might ride easy for Lenore, his little friend
12
And it was this red blanket that brought him to his end
13
The blanket was now dragging behind her on the ground
14
The frightened cattle saw it and charged it with a bound
15
Lenore then saw her danger and turned her pony's face
16
And leaning in the saddle tied the blanket to its place
17
But in leaning lost her balance, fell in front of that wild tide
18
"Lay still Lenore, I'm coming", were the words that Utah cried
19
His faithful pony saw her and reached her in a bound
20
I thought he'd been successful and raised her from the ground
21
But the weight upon the saddle had not been felt before
22
His back cinch snapped like thunder and he fell by Lenore
23
Picking up the blanket he swung it over his head
24
And started cross the prairie, "Lay still Lenore" he said
25
When he got the stampede turned and saved Lenore his friend
26
He turned to face the cattle and meet his fatal end
27
His six gun flashed like lightning, the report rang loud and clear
28
As the cattle rushed and killed him he dropped the leading steer
29
On his funeral morning, I heard the preacher say
30
I hope we'll all meet Utah at the roundup far away
31
Then they wrapped him in a blanket that saved his little friend
32
And it was this red blanket that brought him to his end
