When the Work's All Done This Fall - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
Written by:M. Robbins[00:00:03]
A group of jolly cowboys discussing plans at ease[00:00:06]
Said one I'll tell you something boys[00:00:12]
If you will listen please[00:00:15]
I'm an old cow puncher[00:00:18]
Or here I'm dressed in rags[00:00:21]
I used to be a tough one[00:00:24]
And go on great big jags[00:00:27]
I have got a home boys[00:00:30]
A good one you all know[00:00:33]
Although I haven't seen it since long long ago[00:00:35]
I'm going back to Dixie[00:00:41]
Once more to see them all[00:00:44]
I'm going home to mother[00:00:47]
When the work's all done this fall[00:00:49]
That night this very cowboy[00:00:53]
Went out to stand his guard[00:00:55]
The night was dark and stormy[00:00:58]
Was raining very hard[00:01:01]
The cattle they got frightened[00:01:04]
And they rushed in wild stampede[00:01:07]
The cowboy tried to turn them[00:01:10]
While riding at full speed[00:01:13]
Riding in the darkness[00:01:16]
Loudly he did shout[00:01:19]
Trying his best to stop them[00:01:22]
Or turn the herd about[00:01:24]
His saddle horse did stumble[00:01:27]
And upon him it did fall[00:01:29]
Poor boy won't see his mother[00:01:33]
When the work's all done this fall[00:01:35]
Fred you take my saddle[00:01:39]
Jim you take my bed[00:01:42]
Johnny take my pistol after I am dead[00:01:45]
Think about me kindly[00:01:50]
As you look upon them all[00:01:53]
I'll not see my mother[00:01:56]
When the work's all done this fall[00:01:58]
They buried Charlie at daybreak[00:02:01]
No tombstone at his head[00:02:04]
Nothing but a little board[00:02:07]
And this is what it said[00:02:10]
Charlie died at daybreak[00:02:13]
He died from a fall[00:02:16]
Poor boy won't see his mother[00:02:18]
When the work's all done this fall[00:02:21]
