The Dying Cowboy - John Dennis Dickey (Multi-track recording)

Alternate title: "Oh, Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie", as done via a multi-track attempt with a Sears Silvertone acoustic guitar and a Harmony five-string banjo that I tried desperately to keep in tune. It might seem a little improbable that a cowboy would utter the words "Oh, bury me not..."? Fairly semantically articulate...wouldn't the request be more like "Don't go a'stuffin' me in that prairie sod"? This is one erudite Dying Cowboy.

Hey there John, Awesome performance my friend. I very much enjoyed this. As for the song I believe there is a little cowboy in all of us. Well done!

This is an outstanding video! I made this comment on another channel but YT is a big community. At the risk of being a broken record ....I think you have been born and lived on the prairie and to be of a past generation to understand this song ( I meet both criteria!!).

Fine work -- also so cool that you have an old Sears Silvertone guitar -- these were all made by Kay of course -- the one sold by "Monkey" Ward' were by Harmony -- sounds like a arch top? Stars*************************­******

Hello John, I think you did a great job on this song. It has a good feel to it and the banjo adds so much to achieve that feeling. Thanks for sharing. Your friend, wd

Hi John, thanks for the nice compliments you wrote under my film "More". I herwith return the compliments by letting you know I've watched all your Country- and Moviesongs, so it took me a while.... I missed "High Noon", I think it's a good song for your wonderful low voice. Trie also listening to all those wonderful songs Jim Reeves made. You'll find a lot of new challenges. Good luck and thanks again. Wim.(Snorrewim) when you click on "meer info" you can read the English text as well.
