When The Work's All Done This - Michael Martin Murphey
A group of jolly cowboys discussing plans at ease
Says one I'll tell you something boys if you will listen please
I am an old cow puncher you see me dressed in rags
I used to be a good one boys and went on great big jags
I have got a home boys a good one you all know
Although I haven't seen it since very long ago
I'm headed back to dixie once more to see them all
I'm going to see my mother when the work's all done this fall
When I left my home boys my mother for me cried
She begged me not to go boys for me she would have died
My mother's heart is aching breaking for me that's all
With God's help I'll see her when the work's all done this fall

That very night this cowboy went out to stand his guard
The night was dark and cloudy and storming very hard
The cattle they got frightened and rushed in wild stampede
The cowboy tried to head them while riding at full speed
Riding in the darkness so loudly he did shout
Trying hard to head them and turn the herd about
His saddle horse did stumble and on him it did fall
He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall

Send my mother my wages boys the wages I have earned
I am so afraid boys the last steer I have turned
I'm headed for a new range I hear my master call
I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall
Fred you take my saddle george you take my bed
Bill you take my pistol after I am dead
Then think of me kindly when you look upon them all
I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall
Charlie was buried at sunrise no tombstone for his head
Nothing but a little board and this is what it said
Charlie died at daybreak he died from a fall
He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall
