This was done by Marty Robbins on his Gunfighter Ballads album
UTAH CAROL
Marty Robbins "Gunfighter Ballads"
Capo 3 play C
C F C
And now my friends you've asked me what makes me sad and still
G7 C
And why my brow is darkened, like the clouds upon the hill
F F C
Run in your ponies closer, and I'll tell to you my tale
G7 C
Of Utah Carol my partner, and his last ride on the trail
F C
We rode the range together, and rode it side by side
G7 C
I loved him like a brother, and I wept when Utah died
F C F C
We were roundin up one morning, when work was almost done
G7 C
When on his side the cattle, started on a frightened run
F C
Underneath the saddle, that the bosses daughter rode
G7 C
Utah that very morning, had placed a bright red robe
F F C
So the saddle might ride easy, for Lenore his little friend
G7 C
And it was this red blanket, the brought him to his end
F C
The blanket was now dragging, behind her on the ground
G7 C
The frightened cattle saw it, and charged it with a bound
F F C
Lenore then saw her danger, and turned her ponies face
G7 C
And leaning in the saddle, tied the blanket to its place
F C
But in leaning lost her balance, fell in front of that wild tide
G7 C
Lay still Lenore I'm coming, were the words that Utah cried
F F C
His faithful pony saw her, and reached her with a bound
G7 C
I thought he'd been successful, and raised her from the ground
F C
But the weight upon the saddle, had not been felt before
G7 C
His back cinch snapped like thunder, and he fell by Lenore
F F C
Picking up the blanket, he swung it o're his head
G7
And started cross the prarie, lay still Lenore he said
F C
When he got the stamped turned, and saved Lenore his friend
G7 C
Then turned to face the cattle, and meet his fateful end
F C F C
His six gun flashed like lightning, the report was loud and clear
G7 C
As the cattle rushed and killed him, he dropped the leading steer
F C
On his funeral morning, I heard the preacher say
G7 C
I hope we'll all meet Utah, at the roundup far away
F C F C
Then they wrapped him in a blanket, that saved his little friend
G7 C
And it was this red blanket, that brought him to his end
