Charles Rutlage

Charles Rutlage - Samuel Ramey/Warren Jones[00:00:00]

Written by:D.J. O'Malley/Charles Edward Ives[00:00:00]

Another good cow puncher has gone to meet his fate[00:00:09]

I hope he'll find a resting place within the golden gate[00:00:13]

The golden gate[00:00:19]

Another place is vacant on the ranch of the X I T[00:00:22]

'Twill be hard to find another that's liked as well as he[00:00:26]

The first that died was Kid White a man both tough and brave[00:00:32]

While Charlie Rutledge makes the third to be sent to his grave[00:00:42]

Caused by a cow horse falling while running after stock[00:00:54]

'Twas on the spring round up a place where death men mock[00:01:02]

He went forward one morning on a circle through the hills[00:01:07]

He was gay and full of glee and free from earthly ills[00:01:11]

But when it came to finish up the work on which he went[00:01:15]

Nothing came back from him for his time on earth was spent[00:01:19]

T'was as he rode the round up an X I T[00:01:24]

Turned back to the herd[00:01:27]

Poor Charlie shoved him in again his cutting horse he spurred[00:01:28]

Another turned at that moment his horse the creature spied[00:01:32]

And turned and fell with him and beneath poor Charlie died[00:01:35]

His relations in Texas his face nevermore will see[00:02:03]

But I hope he will meet his loved ones beyond in eternity[00:02:09]

In eternity[00:02:16]

I hope he will meet his parents will meet them face to face[00:02:18]

And that they will grasp him by the right hand at the shining[00:02:23]

Throne of grace[00:02:29]
