Fort Phantom Hill
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Red Steagall and Richard O'Brien

C F C
It was a cold and windy day out on Fort Phantom Hill
Am D7 Dm G7
With hats in hand a group of solemn men
C F C F
Were gathered around a shallow grave they’d dug with rifle butts
D7 G7 C
To pay their last respects to an old friend

Am F C
Now Curly was the first to speak and in a gravel voice
Am D7 Dm G7
Said I remember when he came out here
C F C F
He throwed a big John Blocker loop and rode a steel dust mare
D7 G7 C
I helped him rope a thousand longhorn steers

F G7 F C
We rolled him in the wagon sheet and laid him in the ground
Am D7 Dm G7
Then piled up rocks so wolves won't gnaw his bones
F G7 C F
Cheyenne cut a cross of cedar with his Barlow knife
D7 G7 C Am
We sang Lord another cowboy's coming home

F C
Then Billy Fred remembered just how good he handled broncs
Am D7 Dm G7
Until the blue roan broke him up real bad
C F C F
And McIntosh the wagon boss said in his Scottish brogue
D7 G7 C
Remarks the last the best cowboy we ever had

Am F C
And then it came my time to speak they turned and looked at me
Am D7 Dm G7
I held the tears back so they wouldn't show
C F C F
I bit my lip and swallowed hard but all that I could say
D7 G7 C
Was I'll miss you Papa I thought you had it rode

Repeat #3

F G7 C F
Cheyenne cut a cross of cedar with his Barlow knife
D7 G7 C
And sang Lord another cowboy's coming home
