They picked him up so gently, and put him on a bed. He opened up his blue eyes, and looking all around. He motioned to his comrades, to come sit near him on the ground. "Boys, send my mother my wages, the wages I have earned. For, I am afraid, boys, my last steer I have turned. I'm going to a new range, I hear my Master call. And I'll not see my mother, when the work's all done this fall." "So Fred, you take my saddle. George, you take my bed. Bill, you take my pistol, after I am dead. And think of me kindly, when you look upon them all. For I'll not see my mother, when the work's all done this fall." And poor Charlie was buried at sunrise, no tombstone at his head. Nothing but a little board, and this is what it said: "Charlie died at daybreak, he died from a fall. And he'll not see his mother, when the work's all done this fall."[/QUOTE]
