A group of jolly cowboys
Discussing plans at ease
Said one, "I'll tell you something, boys
If you will listen, please"
"I am an old cow puncher
And here I'm dressed in rags
I used to be a tough one
And go on great big jags"
"Once I had a home, boys
And a good one you all know
Though I haven't seen it since
Long long years ago"
"I'm going back to Dixie
Once more to see'em all
Yes, I am going home, boys
When the work's all done this fall"
"Now 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 breaking
I've broken it that's all
But with God's help I'll see her
When the work's all done this fall"
