[00:00:00] Charles Rutlage - Samuel Ramey/Warren Jones

[00:00:00] Written by：D.J. O'Malley/Charles Edward Ives

[00:00:09] Another good cow puncher has gone to meet his fate

[00:00:13] I hope he'll find a resting place within the golden gate

[00:00:19] The golden gate

[00:00:22] Another place is vacant on the ranch of the X I T

[00:00:26] 'Twill be hard to find another that's liked as well as he

[00:00:32] The first that died was Kid White a man both tough and brave

[00:00:42] While Charlie Rutledge makes the third to be sent to his grave

[00:00:54] Caused by a cow horse falling while running after stock

[00:01:02] 'Twas on the spring round up a place where death men mock

[00:01:07] He went forward one morning on a circle through the hills

[00:01:11] He was gay and full of glee and free from earthly ills

[00:01:15] But when it came to finish up the work on which he went

[00:01:19] Nothing came back from him for his time on earth was spent

[00:01:24] T'was as he rode the round up an X I T

[00:01:27] Turned back to the herd

[00:01:28] Poor Charlie shoved him in again his cutting horse he spurred

[00:01:32] Another turned at that moment his horse the creature spied

[00:01:35] And turned and fell with him and beneath poor Charlie died

[00:02:03] His relations in Texas his face nevermore will see

[00:02:09] But I hope he will meet his loved ones beyond in eternity

[00:02:16] In eternity

[00:02:18] I hope he will meet his parents will meet them face to face

[00:02:23] And that they will grasp him by the right hand at the shining

[00:02:29] Throne of grace
