《When The Work’s All Done This Fall》歌词

[00:00:01] When The Work's All Done This - Michael Martin Murphey

[00:00:06] A group of jolly cowboys discussing plans at ease

[00:00:11] Says one I'll tell you something boys if you will listen please

[00:00:16] I am an old cow puncher you see me dressed in rags

[00:00:21] I used to be a good one boys and went on great big jags

[00:00:26] I have got a home boys a good one you all know

[00:00:30] Although I haven't seen it since very long ago

[00:00:35] I'm headed back to dixie once more to see them all

[00:00:40] I'm going to see my mother when the work's all done this fall

[00:00:46] When I left my home boys my mother for me cried

[00:00:50] She begged me not to go boys for me she would have died

[00:00:55] My mother's heart is aching breaking for me that's all

[00:01:00] With God's help I'll see her when the work's all done this fall

[00:01:16] That very night this cowboy went out to stand his guard

[00:01:21] The night was dark and cloudy and storming very hard

[00:01:26] The cattle they got frightened and rushed in wild stampede

[00:01:31] The cowboy tried to head them while riding at full speed

[00:01:36] Riding in the darkness so loudly he did shout

[00:01:41] Trying hard to head them and turn the herd about

[00:01:45] His saddle horse did stumble and on him it did fall

[00:01:51] He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall

[00:02:07] Send my mother my wages boys the wages I have earned

[00:02:11] I am so afraid boys the last steer I have turned

[00:02:16] I'm headed for a new range I hear my master call

[00:02:21] I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall

[00:02:26] Fred you take my saddle george you take my bed

[00:02:31] Bill you take my pistol after I am dead

[00:02:36] Then think of me kindly when you look upon them all

[00:02:41] I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall

[00:02:47] Charlie was buried at sunrise no tombstone for his head

[00:02:52] Nothing but a little board and this is what it said

[00:02:57] Charlie died at daybreak he died from a fall

[00:03:02] He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall
