Вступление
[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
A A7 D Bm
A band of jolly cowboys were expressing plans at ease
E E7 A
One said I'll tell you somethin' boys, if you will listen, please
A A7 D Bm
I am an old cow puncher and the year round dressed in rags
E E7 A
I used to be a tough'n boys and I'd pick the risky jags
[Verse 2]
A A7 D Bm
Yes I have a home boys, and a good one you should know
E E7 A
But boys I haven't seen it since the fall long ago
A A7 D Bm
I'm a'going back to Dixie and I expect to see'em all
E E7 A
I'm a'goin to see my mother when the work's all done this fall
[Instrumental]
A D Bm E7 A
A D Bm E7 A
[Verse 3]
A A7 D Bm
When I left my home, boys, my Mother for me cried
E E7 A
She begged me not to leave her, for me she would have died
A A7 D Bm
Her poor old heart was breaking breaking for me that's all
E E7 A
But with God's help I'll see her when the work's all done this fall
[Verse 4]
A A7 D Bm
That very night old Charlie would have to stand his guard
E E7 A
The night was dark and cloudy the storm was very hard
A A7 D Bm
Then the cattle all got frightened and they ran in wild stampede
E E7 A
He tried his best to turn the herd while riding at full speed
[Verse 5]
A A7 D Bm
He was riding in the darkness as loudly he did shout
E E7 A
He did his best to head the leaders and turn the herd about
A A7 D Bm
Then his saddle horse did stumble and upon him it did fall
E E7 A
Charlie won't see his Mother boys when the work's all done this fall
[Instrumental]
A D Bm E7 A
[Verse 6]
A A7 D Bm
Jack, you may have my pistol and Doo you may have my bed
E E7 A
And Jim you may have my saddle after I am dead
A A7 D Bm
Please write my Mother gently and tell her of my fall
E E7 A
For I'll not see my Mother boys when the work's all done this fall
[Verse 7]
A A7 D Bm
Charlie died at day break, no tombstone at his head
E E7 A
There was nothing but a wooden slab and this is what it said
A A7 D Bm
"Charlie died at sunrise. He died from a fall
E E7 A
He's heading for that better range he heard his Master call
