《When the Work’s All Done》歌词

[00:00:00] When the Work's All Done - Johnny Bond

[00:00:04] A group of jolly cowboys

[00:00:06] Discussing plans at ease

[00:00:09] Said one I'll tell you something boys

[00:00:11] If you will listen please

[00:00:13] I am an old cow puncher

[00:00:15] And here I'm dressed in rags

[00:00:17] I used to be a tough one

[00:00:20] And go on great big jags

[00:00:22] Now I got a home boys

[00:00:24] And a good one you all know

[00:00:27] Though I haven't seen it since

[00:00:29] Long long ago

[00:00:31] I'm going back to Dixie

[00:00:33] Once more to see them all

[00:00:35] I am going to see my mother

[00:00:37] When the work's all done this fall

[00:00:58] That very night the cowboy went out

[00:01:01] To stand his guard

[00:01:02] The night was dark and cloudy

[00:01:05] And storming very hard

[00:01:07] The cattle they got frightened

[00:01:09] And rushed in wild stampede

[00:01:12] The cowboy tried to hit them

[00:01:13] While riding at full speed

[00:01:16] While riding in the darkness

[00:01:18] So loudly did he shout

[00:01:20] I gave his best to head them

[00:01:22] And turn the herd about

[00:01:25] His saddle horse did stumble

[00:01:27] And on him he did fall

[00:01:29] He'll not see his mother

[00:01:31] When the work's all done this fall

[00:01:52] Fred you take my saddle

[00:01:54] Jim you take my bed

[00:01:57] Johnny take my pistol

[00:01:59] After I am dead

[00:02:01] Think me so kindly

[00:02:03] When you look upon them all

[00:02:06] I'll not see my mother

[00:02:08] When the work's all done this fall

[00:02:10] Send my Mother my wages

[00:02:12] The wages I have earned

[00:02:15] Cause I am afraid boys

[00:02:17] My last steer I have turned

[00:02:19] I'm going to a new range

[00:02:21] I hear my Master's call

[00:02:24] I'll not see my mother

[00:02:26] When the work's all done this fall

[00:02:28] Charlie was buried at sunrise

[00:02:30] No tombstone at his head

[00:02:33] Nothing but a little board

[00:02:35] And this is what it said

[00:02:37] Poor Charlie died at daybreak

[00:02:39] He died from a fall

[00:02:42] And he'll not see his mother

[00:02:44] When the work's all done this fall
