Utah Carol - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
And now my friends you've[00:00:05]
Asked me what makes me sad and still[00:00:07]
And why my brow is darkened[00:00:11]
Like the clouds upon the hill[00:00:14]
Run in your ponies closer[00:00:17]
And I'll tell to you my tale[00:00:20]
Of Utah Carol my partner[00:00:22]
And his last ride on the trail[00:00:25]
We rode the range together[00:00:28]
And rode it side by side[00:00:31]
I loved him like a brother [00:00:34]
And I wept when Utah died[00:00:37]
We were rounding up one morning[00:00:40]
When work was almost done[00:00:42]
When on his side the cattle[00:00:46]
Started on a frightened run[00:00:48]
Underneath the saddle[00:00:51]
That the boss's daughter rode[00:00:54]
Utah that very morning[00:00:56]
Had placed a bright red robe[00:00:59]
So the saddle might ride easy[00:01:02]
For Lenore his little friend[00:01:05]
And it was this red blanket[00:01:08]
That brought him to his end[00:01:11]
The blanket was now dragging[00:01:14]
Behind her on the ground[00:01:16]
The frightened cattle saw it[00:01:19]
And charged it with a bound[00:01:22]
Lenore then saw her danger[00:01:25]
And turned her pony's face[00:01:28]
And leaning in the saddle[00:01:31]
Tied the blanket to its place[00:01:33]
But in leaning lost her balance [00:01:36]
Fell in front of that wild tide[00:01:39]
"Lay still Lenore I'm coming"[00:01:42]
Were the words that Utah cried[00:01:45]
His faithful pony saw her[00:01:48]
And reached her with a bound[00:01:50]
I thought he'd been successful [00:01:53]
And raised her from the ground[00:01:56]
But the weight upon the saddle[00:01:59]
Had not been felt before[00:02:02]
His backcinch snapped like thunder[00:02:05]
And he fell by Lenore[00:02:07]
Picking up the blanket[00:02:11]
He swung it over his head[00:02:13]
And started cross the prairie [00:02:16]
"Lay still Lenore" he said[00:02:19]
When he got the stampede turned[00:02:22]
And saved Lenore his friend[00:02:24]
He turned to face the cattle[00:02:27]
And meet his fatal end[00:02:30]
His six gun flashed like lightning [00:02:33]
The report rang loud and clear[00:02:36]
As the cattle rushed and killed him[00:02:38]
He dropped the leading steer[00:02:41]
On his funeral morning[00:02:45]
I heard the preacher say[00:02:47]
I hope we'll all meet Utah[00:02:50]
At the roundup far away[00:02:52]
Then they wrapped him in a blanket[00:02:55]
That saved his little friend[00:02:58]
And it was this red blanket[00:03:01]
That brought him to his end[00:03:04]
