歌曲歌詞
Another good cow puncher has gone to meet his fate
I hope he'll find a resting place within the golden gate
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 Rutledge makes the third to be sent to his grave
Caused by a cow horse 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 gay 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 for his time on earth was spent
T'was as he rode the round up an X I T
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 and beneath poor Charlie died
His relations in Texas his face nevermore will see
But I hope he will meet his loved ones beyond in eternity
In eternity
I hope he will meet his parents will meet them face to face
And that they will grasp him by the right hand at the shining
Throne of grace
