E7 A [Verse 1]
A A7 A band of jolly cowboys were
D Bm expressing plans at ease
E One said I'll tell you somethin'
E7 A boys, if you will listen, please
A A7 D I am an old cow puncher and the
Bm year round dressed in rags
E I used to be a tough'n boys and I'd
E7 A pick the risky jags [Verse 2]
A A7 D Yes I have a home boys, and a
Bm good one you should know
E But boys I haven't seen it since
E7 A the fall long ago
A A7 I'm a'going back to Dixie and I
D Bm expect to see'em all
E I'm a'goin to see my mother when
E7 A the work's all done this fall [Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A A7 D When I left my home, boys, my
Bm Mother for me cried
E She begged me not to leave her, for
E7 A me she would have died
A A7 Her poor old heart was breaking
D Bm breaking for me that's all
E But with God's help I'll see her
E7 A when the work's all done this fall [Verse 4]
A A7 That very night old Charlie would
D Bm have to stand his guard
E The night was dark and cloudy the
E7 A storm was very hard
A A7 Then the cattle all got frightened
D Bm and they ran in wild stampede
E He tried his best to turn the herd
E7 A while riding at full speed [Verse 5]
A A7 He was riding in the darkness as
D Bm loudly he did shout
E He did his best to head the leaders
E7 A and turn the herd about
A A7 Then his saddle horse did stumble
D Bm and upon him it did fall
E Charlie won't see his Mother boys
E7 A when the work's all done this fall [Instrumental]
A D Bm E7 A [Verse 6]
A A7 Jack, you may have my pistol and
D Bm Doo you may have my bed
E And Jim you may have my saddle
E7 A after I am dead
A A7 Please write my Mother gently and
D Bm tell her of my fall
E For I'll not see my Mother boys
E7 A when the work's all done this fall [Verse 7]
A A7 Charlie died at day break, no
D Bm tombstone at his head
E There was nothing but a wooden slab
E7 A and this is what it said
A A7 D "Charlie died at sunrise. He died
Bm from a fall
E He's heading for that better range
E7 A he heard his Master call
