Buffalo Bill's Grave, Lookout Mountain
Additional Details:
| I've stood at the grave of Buffalo Bill On a mountain crest and I've felt the thrill Which he must have felt, as I saw below The prairies wide of his long ago. I've heard it told how he journeyed there With the breezes tossing his steel-gray hair, And his soul rejoiced at each changing scene Which marks the haunts where his youth had been And I understand why he asked to lie Through the last long sleep 'neath that open sky.
