utah carroll - skip gorman lyrics

and now, my friends, you ask me
what makes me sad and still
and why my brow is darkened
like the clouds upon the hill
draw in your ponies closer
and i’ll tell you all a tale
of utah carroll, my partner
and his last ride on the trail

we rode the range together
we rode it side by side;
i loved him like a brother
and i wept when utah died
we were rounding up that morning
the work was almost done
when on one side they started
in a mad and fеarful run

the bossman’s little daughter
was running down a steer;
thе cattle saw her blanket
and they charged with maddened fear
little varo saw her danger
and turning her pony apace
and leaning in the saddle
she tied her blanket in its place
but in leaning she lost her balance
and she fell by that wild tide
utah saw her danger;
“lay still, varo,” he cried
his only hope was to catch her
and raise her at full speed
as he had oft been known to catch
a trail rope off his steed

but the cinches of his saddle
made that a fatal ride
for the back cinch snapped asunder
and he fell by varo’s side
but he picked up that little red blanket
and swinging it over his head
and running toward the cattle
“lay still, varo,” he said

well, utah turned the stampede
and he saved his little friend
and he turned to face the cattle
and meet a fatal end
his six*gun from his pocket
his scabbard, quickly drew
for he was bound to die defending
as most young cowboys do
on some bright future morning
i heard the preacher say
“i know we’ll all meet utah
at the great round*up someday.”
we wrapped him in his little saddle blanket
sent by his little friend
it was the same red blanket
that brought him to his end
