| As the night softly fell down upon the old corral |
| And the moon into the blue sky made its way |
| Not a sound could be heard but the song of some wild bird |
| As it hovered where the dying cowboy lay |
| Then he whispered goodnight to his cowboy pals so dear |
| As his head up on his saddle they did lay |
| «If you ever go home, you can tell them that I’ve gone |
| And am sleeping in a lonely western grave» |
| «Mother begged me not to stray, from the old home go away, |
| Though I loved her still her pleadings were in vain |
| Dry those tears boys please, don’t cry, one more roundup we will ride |
| Where we’ll know no heartaches, sorrows, tears or pain.» |
| «Oh that dear old shady stream where oft times I used to dream |
| It was there I used to meet the girl I loved. |
| Bit I’ll never see her more till we reach that golden shore. |
| Way up there we’ll meet in that bright land above.» |
