lyrics

My partner laid dying in the cedar and sage,
He said, “I wouldn’t live too long now anyhow at my age,
Don’t cry for my soul, though I wait now at the gates.”
I buried my friend in the cedar and sage.

I’ve spent long lonely nights on this high desert plain.
My companions, the coyotes, their sadness is plain.
I’ve been adrift with the wind, now I’ll lay here where I land
In the cedar and sage.

I laid my grave in the cedar and sage.
I don’t want to die but who knows at my age.
Don’t look for my tombstone, my memorial’s just these:
The cedar and sage.

But my time’s not yet come on this high desert stage.
The ambush got my friend but made one grave mistake.
Thought they’d kill me now they lay face down in the sage,
And the cedar stands watch as the devil’s own page
Sees them swiftly down to the fires that rage.

I laid my grave in the cedar and sage.
I don’t want to die but who knows with my ways.
Don’t look for my tombstone, my memorial’s just these:
The cedar and sage.
