Verse 1
(D major) (G major)
(A major) (D major) A group of jolly cowboys,
(G major) discussing plans at ease.
There's (A major) a one I'll tell you something boys,
if you will listen (D major) please.
I am an old cow puncher,
and (G major) here I'm dressed in rags.
But I (A major) used to be a tough one,
and I went on great big (D major) jags
But I've got a home, boys,
(G major) a good one you all know
Although (A major) I have not seen it since long,
long (D major) ago
I'm a -goin' back to
Dixie once (G major) more to see them all
I'm a (A major) -goin' to see my mother when
the work's all done this (D major) fall
That very night this cowboy
went (G major) out to stand his guard.
(A major) The night was dark and cloudy and
the storming very (D major) hard.
The cattle they got frightened and
(G major) rushed in wild stampede.
The (A major) cowboy tried to hit them
a -riding at full (D major) speed.
While a -riding in the darkness
so (G major) loudly did he shout.
Try (A major) in' his best to hit him
and turn the herd (D major) about
His saddle the horse did stumble
and (G major) on him did fall
The (A major) boy won't see his mother when
the work's all done this (D major) fall (G major) (A major)
(D major) His body was so mangled,
the (G major) boys all thought him dead
They (A major) picked him up so gently
and laid him on a (D major) bed
He opened wide his blue eyes
and (G major) a -lookin' all around
He (A major) motioned to his comrades to
sit with him on the (D major) ground
Boys, send mother my wages, (G major) the wages I have earned I (A major) am afraid,
boys, my life's dear I have (D major) turned
I'm a -goin' to a new range,
(G major) a -hear my master's call
I'll (A major) not see my mother when
the work's all done this fall (D major) (A major) (D major)
Bill, you take my saddle
(G major) George, you can (A major) have my (G major) bed
And
(D major) Joe, (A major) you can take my pistol after I'm (D major) dead,
and boys, think of me, think of me kindly
(D major) when you look up upon them (G major) all.
For I'll (A major) not see my mother when
the work's all
done this (D major) fall.
(A major) Poor
Charlie (C sharp major) was bur (D major) ied at sunrise,
(A major) (D major) no tomb (G major) stone at his head.
Noth (D major) ing but (A major) a little bored,
and this is what it said (D major)
Charlie died at daybreak,
(A major) he (D major) (G major) died from (D major) (G major) a fall
The (A major) boy won't see his mother
When the work's all done this fall. (D major)
