Marty Robbins - When The Work's All Done This Fall (Under Western Skies Disc 2)
A group of jolly cowboys discussing plans at ease
Said one, I'll tell you somethin' boys if you will listen, please
I'm an old cow puncher, and here, I'm dressed in rags
I used to be a tough one and go on great big jags
I have got a home, boys, a good one you all know
Although I haven't seen it since long, long ago
I'm goin' back to Dixie once more to see them all
I'm goin' home to Mother when the work's all done this fall
That night this very cowboy went out to stand his guard
The night was dark and stormy, was rainin' very hard
The cattle they got frightened and they rushed in wild stampede
The cowboy tried to turn them while ridin' at full speed
Ridin' in the darkness, loudly he did shout
Tryin' his best to stop them or turn the herd about
His saddle horse did stumble and upon him it did fall
Poor boy won't see his Mother when the work's all done this fall
Fred, you take my saddle, Jim, you take my bed
Johnny, take my pistol after I am dead
Think about me kindly as you look upon them all
I'll not see my Mother when the work's all done this fall
They buried Charlie at daybreak no tombstone at his head
Nothin' but a little board and this is what it said
Charlie died at daybreak, he died from a fall
Poor boy won't see his Mother when the work's all done this fall
Marty Robbins 'When The Work's All Done This Fall.' (04:15)
Here's Marty singing a great old traditional cowboy song and another written by two of the Glaser
Brothers, Tompall and Jim. This is one of two versions of 'Work' sung by Marty which somehow missed
inclusion on any of his Western albums until Bear Family found them in the vaults. 'Five Brothers'
is a Western song of the highest standard with a great storyline that surprisingly never made the
upper echelons of the Country music chart even though it reached 74 in the Pop chart. It was coupled

My sentiments exactly, mistercoors, the garbage coming over the airways these days from those foulmouthed, drugged -up retards is disgusting. Marty was pure talent & his music will never fade away, we wont let that happen, cos its just too good. RIP Marty Love ya !!!!!

at about 1:30 you will hear probably the first known recording of the fuzz guitar sound.. one of Marty's guitarist had a faulty connection thus producing this fuzzy sound and was left in the recording....

What an absolute pleasure it is to open a bottle of red and call up pure class thanks to Tarqin45 and like minded people. As a 60+ year old I can only envy you young people your youth, because in ten years time (You Tube) will be just about hanging on as technology advances to Holograms in your sitting rooms and the enviable ability of record labels to clean all archives to H.D What a prospect?
