A group of jolly cowboys

discussing plans at ease

One I’ll tell you, something boys

If you will listen, please
G
I am an old cow-puncher

And here I’m dressed in rags

Used to be a tough one

And I went on great big jags
C
But I’ve got a home boys

A good one that you all know

Though I haven’t seen it

Since long, long ago

Once more to see them all

G
That very night this cowboy
C
Went out to stand his guard
D
The night was dark and dreary
G
And storming very hard
G
The cattle they got frightened
C
And rushed in a wild stampede
D
The cowboy tried to head them out
G
Riding at full speed
G
While a-riding in the darkness
C
So loudly did he shout
D
Trying his best to head them
G
And turn the herd about
G
His saddle-horse did stumble
C
And on him, it did fall
D
The boy won’t see his mother
G
When the works all done this fall
[Break]

G
The body was so mangled
C
Boys all thought him dead

They picked him up so gently
D
And laid him on a bed
G
He opened wide his blue eyes
C
And looking all around
D
Motioned with his comrades
D
To sit with him on the ground
G
“Boys send my mother my wages
C
My wages I have earned
D
For I am afraid, boys
D
The last steer I have turned

Going to the new range

I hear my master’s call

I won’t see my mother
D
When the work’s all done this fall

Give Sully Bill my six-gun, Jake can have my bed

Pat can have my saddle after I get dead

When you look upon them all

I won’t see my mother
D
When the work’s all done this fall
[Verse 5]

Poor Charlie was buried at sunrise
C
No tombstone at his head
D
Nothin but a little board
D
And this is what it said:

“‘Charlie died at daybreak

He died from a fall
D
The boy won’t see his mother
D
When the work’s all done this fall
