Works All Done This Fall chords by Michael Martin Murphey


Michael Martin Murphey Chords


When The Work's All Done This Fall
Traditional Cowboy Song
Recorded By Michael Martin Murphey


          When The Work's All Done This Fall

        C                 C7       F
1.  A  group of jolly cowboys, discussing plans at ease
      G7                                                      C
Says one, I'll tell you something, boys, if you will listen, please
                     C7       F
I am an old cow-puncher, you see me dressed in rags
    G7                                               C
I used to be a good one boys, and went on great big jags

2.  I have got a home boys, a good one you all know
Although I haven't seen it since very long ago
I'm headed back to Dixie once more to see them all
I'm going to see my mother when the work's all done this fall

3.  When I left my home, boys, my mother for me cried
She begged me not to go, boys, for me she would have died
My mother's heart is aching, breaking for me, that's all
With God's help I'll see her when the work's all done this fall"

Instrumental Break

(Change to key of C#)

4.  That very night this cowboy went out to stand his guard
The night was dark and cloudy and storming very hard
The cattle, they got frightened and rushed in wild stampede
The cowboy tried to head them while riding at full speed

5.  Riding in the darkness, so loudly he did shout
Trying hard to head them and turn the herd about
His saddle horse did stumble and on him it did fall
He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall

Instrumental Break

(Change to key of D)

6.  "Send my mother my wages, boys, the wages I have earned
I am so afraid, boys, the last steer I have turned
I'm headed for a new range, I hear my Master call
I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall

7.  Fred, you take my saddle, George, you take my bed
Bill, you take my pistol after I am dead
Then think of me kindly when you look upon them all
I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall"

8.  Charlie was buried at sunrise, no tombstone for his head
Nothing but a little board, and this is what it said
"Charlie died at daybreak, he died from a fall
He'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall"
