Charlie Rutlage - Veronica Lenz-Kuhn[00:00:00]
Written by:Charles Ives[00:00:00]
Another good cowpuncher has[00:00:07]
Gone to meet his fate[00:00:10]
I hope he'll find a resting place[00:00:12]
Within the golden gate[00:00:18]
The golden get[00:00:20]
Another place is vacant on[00:00:23]
The ranch of the X I T[00:00:26]
'Twill be hard to find another[00:00:28]
That's liked as well as he[00:00:32]
The first that died was kid white[00:00:35]
A man both tough and brave[00:00:41]
While Charlie Rutlage makes[00:00:49]
The third to be sent to his grave[00:00:53]
'Caused by a cowhorse falling[00:01:03]
While running after stock[00:01:11]
'Twas on the spring round up[00:01:14]
A place where death men mock[00:01:17]
He went forward one morning[00:01:20]
On a circle through the hills[00:01:23]
He was gay and full of glee[00:01:26]
And free from earthly ills[00:01:29]
But when it came to finish up[00:01:32]
The work on which he went[00:01:35]
Nothing came back from him[00:01:38]
His time on earth was spent[00:01:41]
'Twas as he rode the round up[00:01:45]
Exit turned back to the herd[00:01:47]
Poor Charlie shoved him in again[00:01:49]
His cutting horse he spurred[00:01:51]
Another turned at that moment[00:01:53]
His horse the creature spied[00:01:56]
And turned and fell with him[00:01:58]
Beneath poor Charlie died[00:02:07]
His relations in texas his[00:02:19]
Face never more will see[00:02:23]
But I hope he'll meet his loved[00:02:26]
Ones beyond in eternity[00:02:32]
In eternity[00:02:36]
I hope he'll meet his parents[00:02:39]
Will meet them face to face[00:02:42]
And that they'll grasp him by[00:02:45]
The right hand at the[00:02:48]
Shining throne of grace[00:02:52]
The right hand at the[00:02:55]
Shining throne of grace[00:02:57]
