charlie rutlage - charles ives lyrics

Loading...

another good cowpuncher has gone to meet his fate
i hope he’ll find a resting place, within the golden gate
another place is vacant on the ranch of the x i t
’twill be hard to find another that’s liked as well as he

the first that died was kid white, a man both tough and brave
while charlie rutlage makes the third to be sent to his grave
caused by a cowhorse falling, while running after stock;
’twas on the spring round up, a place where death men mock

he went forward one morning on a circle through the hills
he was g*y and full of glee, and free from earthly ills;
but when it came to finish up the work on which he went
nothing came back from him; his time on earth was spent

’twas as he rode the round up, a xit turned back to the herd;
poor charlie shoved him in again, his cutting horse he spurred;
another turned; at that moment his horse the creature spied
and turned and fell with him; beneath, poor charlie died

his relations in texas his face never more will see
but i hope he’ll meet his loved ones beyond in eternity
i hope he’ll meet his parents, will meet them face to face
and that they’ll grasp him by the right hand at the shining throne of grace
