When The Work's All Done This - Michael Martin Murphey[00:00:01]

A group of jolly cowboys discussing plans at ease[00:00:06]

Says one I'll tell you something boys if you will listen please[00:00:11]

I am an old cow puncher you see me dressed in rags[00:00:16]

I used to be a good one boys and went on great big jags[00:00:21]

I have got a home boys a good one you all know[00:00:26]

Although I haven't seen it since very long ago[00:00:30]

I'm headed back to dixie once more to see them all[00:00:35]

I'm going to see my mother when the work's all done this fall[00:00:40]

When I left my home boys my mother for me cried[00:00:46]

She begged me not to go boys for me she would have died[00:00:50]

My mother's heart is aching breaking for me that's all[00:00:55]

With God's help I'll see her when the work's all done this fall[00:01:00]

That very night this cowboy went out to stand his guard[00:01:16]

The night was dark and cloudy and storming very hard[00:01:21]

The cattle they got frightened and rushed in wild stampede[00:01:26]

The cowboy tried to head them while riding at full speed[00:01:31]

Riding in the darkness so loudly he did shout[00:01:36]

Trying hard to head them and turn the herd about[00:01:41]

His saddle horse did stumble and on him it did fall[00:01:45]

He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall[00:01:51]

Send my mother my wages boys the wages I have earned[00:02:07]

I am so afraid boys the last steer I have turned[00:02:11]

I'm headed for a new range I hear my master call[00:02:16]

I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall[00:02:21]

Fred you take my saddle george you take my bed[00:02:26]

Bill you take my pistol after I am dead[00:02:31]

Then think of me kindly when you look upon them all[00:02:36]

I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall[00:02:41]

Charlie was buried at sunrise no tombstone for his head[00:02:47]

Nothing but a little board and this is what it said[00:02:52]

Charlie died at daybreak he died from a fall[00:02:57]

He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall[00:03:02]
