Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
Well, a group of jolly cowboys
C
Discussing plan one eve
D
Says, one, I'll tell you something,
lads
please I'm an old cow puncher
C
And here I'm dressed in rags
D
I used to be a tough one
G
And I'd go on great big jags
But I still have a homeboy's
C
a good one you all know
G
it since many years ago
I'm going back to Dixie once
D
I'm going to see my mother
G
when the work's all done this fall
Now after the shipping's over
C
and before my money's gone,
D
I'm going back to see them,
G
my loved ones, on the farm.
But my mother's heart is breaking,
C
breaking for me, that's all.
D
And with God's help I'll see her
G
when the work's all done this fall.
D
G
Now that very night that cowboy
C
went out to stand his guard,
D
the night was dark and stormy
The cattle all got frightened
C
and they rest in the mad stampede,
D
and we were trying to turn them
G
all riding for the lead.
Now, riding through the darkness,
C
you could plainly hear him shout,
D
as he'd done his best to head them
G
and turn the herd about.
But he sat upon, he stumbled,
C
and on the boy did fall.
D
And he'll not see his mother
G
when the work's all done this fall.
We broke into the circle
C
where all had thought him dead,
D
we picked him up so gently
G
and laid him on his bed,
but he opened wide his bright blue eyes
C
and looking all around,
D
he made motions for his comrades
G
to sit by him on the ground.
Now boys, send mother the wages,
C
the wages that I've earned
D
For I'll not live to spend them
G
my last year I have turned
I'm going to that new range
C
to hear my master's call
D
And I'll not see my mother
G
when the work's all done this fall
Now Jim, you take my saddle
C
and Ted, you can have my bed
D
Jack, you take my pistol
Now boys, think of me kindly
C
as you look upon them all
D
For I'll not see my mother
G
when the work's all done this fall
We buried him about sunrise,
C
no tombstone at his head,
D
nothing but a little old slab,
G
and this is what it said.
Poor Charlie died about daybreak,
C
his saddle horse did fall,
D
And he'll not see his mother
G
when the work's all done this fall.
