Marty Robbins - When The Work's All Done This Fall Lyrics
A group of jolly cowboys discussing plans at easeSaid one, I'll tell you somethin' boys if you will listen, pleaseI'm an old cow puncher, and here, I'm dressed in ragsI used to be a tough one and go on great big jagsI have got a home, boys, a good one you all knowAlthough I haven't seen it since long, long agoI'm goin' back to Dixie once more to see them allI'm goin' home to Mother when the work's all done this fallThat night this very cowboy went out to stand his guardThe night was dark and stormy, was rainin' very hardThe cattle they got frightened and they rushed in wild stampedeThe cowboy tried to turn them while ridin' at full speedRidin' in the darkness, loudly he did shoutTryin' his best to stop them or turn the herd aboutHis saddle horse did stumble and upon him it did fallPoor boy won't see his Mother when the work's all done this fallFred, you take my saddle, Jim, you take my bedJohnny, take my pistol after I am deadThink about me kindly as you look upon them allI'll not see my Mother when the work's all done this fallThey buried Charlie at daybreak no tombstone at his headNothin' but a little board and this is what it saidCharlie died at daybreak, he died from a fallPoor boy won't see his Mother when the work's all done this fall
