It was once in the saddle I used to be gay I first took to drinking and then to card playing \vas shot through the body; so now I must die. Go, call around me a crowd of young cowboys, And tell them the story of their comrade so dear; Then tell them another before they go farther To stop their wild roaming before it's too late. Go write me a letter to my gray headed Mother And break the ne.1s gently to sister so dear. Then there is another that's dearer than Mother Who'll weep bitter tears when she finds I am gone. Someone go get me a cup of crlid water, A cup of cold water the poor fellow said. But when I returned, his soul had departed, And gone to his I>1aker; the cowboy was dead. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He begged me, he teased me, Some several weeks ago To live with his Mother, But I would not go. We was promised to get married Some several weeks ago. This war it broke out, And Sweet Willie had to go. He wrote me a letter That he was very low, He wrote me another I never got ,I know. He was wounded on the battle field, And mortally in the side. Then I received another, Sweet Willie, he had died. He was buried on the battle field, And almost in the sea. Go take up Sweet Willie, And bury him by the side of me.

Grandfatherz Clock My grandfathers clock was too tall for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself, Thou it wieghed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn of the day he was orn It waz always his joy and his pride. But it stoped short, never to go again, when the Old man died. Chorus Ninety years without slumbering: Tick Tick Tick It's life's seckond's numbering Tick Tick Tick It stoped short, never to go again When the old man died. And watching its pendulum swing two and fro Many hours had he passed when a boy. And through youth and through manhood The clock seemed to know And to share with his grief and his joy. For it struck twenty four As he entered the door With his beautiful and blooming bride But it stoped short, never to go again, When the old man died. Chorus My grandfather said of those he would hire, Not a servant so faithful he found, For it wasted no time And it had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound., And it stood at its place Not a frown on its face And itz hands never hung by its sides. But it stoped short, never to go again, When the old man died Chorus It rang an alarm at the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb. And we knew that his spirit Was blooming for flight That the hour of departure had come. And the clock kept time With the lonely chime As we silently stood by his side But it stoped short, never to go again When the old man died.

One day while in a lonesome grove Sat over my head a little dove, For its last mate began to coo Which made me think of my mate, too. Ah, little dove, you are not alone , For I, like you, can onle mourn. I, once, like you, did have a mate, But now like you, I am desolate. Consumption seized my love severe, And preyed on her for one long year, Till death came at the break of day, And my poor Mary he did slay. Her blooming cheeks and sparkling eye Like roses they did wilt and die. The arms that once embraced me round Lie mouldering in the cold ground. But death, grim death, did not stop there. I had one child to me most dear. He like a vulture came again And took from me my little Jane. But bless the Lord, his word is given Declaring babes are heirs of Heaven. Then ceased my heart to mourn for Jane Since my small loss is her great gain. I have a hope that cheers my breast, To think my love has gone to rest. For while her dying tongue could move She praised the Lord for His redeeming lobe. Shout on, ye heavenly powers above, While I this lonesome desert roam.

Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the wild coyote will howl o’er me, Where the cold wind sweeps and the grasses wave. No sunbeams rest on the prairie grave. Again he listened to his well known world,- To the wind’s soft sigh and the song of birds. He thought of his home and his native bowers Where he loved to roam in his childhood hours. It matters not, I’ve oft been told Where the body lies when the heart grows cold. But grant ye, oh gratn ye this boon to me. Oh bury me not on the lone prairie. But I’ve ever wished that when I died My grave might be on the cold hillside. Let there the place of my last rest be. O, bury me not on the lone prairie. Let my death slumber be where my mother’s prayer And a sister’s tears can be mingled there Let me lie where my loved ones can weep o’er me Oh bury me not on the lone prairie. In my dreams I saw,- but his voice failed there. They gave no heed to his dying prayer In a narrow grave just six by three They buried him there on the lone prairie. May the light wing butterfly pause to rest O’er him who sleeps on the prairie crest. May the Texas rose in the breezes wave Oer him who sleeps in a prairie grave. And the cow boys now as they roam the plain , For they marked the spot where his bones have lain, Fling a hand full of roses over his grave With a prayer to him who his soul shall save.

And the pleading voice of Perry was heard: To the pines let's go together, "he said, But the words of the boy had just been spoken, When the windows of Heaven were thrown wide open.

Brown, Secretary-Treasurer Durham, North Carolina- “The Hamlet Wreck” 1 “See the women and children going to the train, Fare-you-well, my husband, if I never see you again, The engineer turned his head When he saw so many were dead, So many have lost their lives. Chorus Isn’t Ains it sad, isn’t ains it sad? Ex/cur/si/on left Durham, going to Charlotte, North Carolina, Isn’t it sad, isn’t it said? So many have lost their lives. 2 Some of us have mothers a standing at the train, Say Fare-well-well, my daughter, I may never see you again, And the train began to fly And some didn’t come back alive, So many have lost their lives. [illegible] The fireman said to the engineer, “We are something late, We don’t want to meet up with the local freight,” The local was on the line And theye could not get there on time , So many have lost their lives. 3 omit these 2 stanzas When the news got to Durham, some said it was a lie, But there was some in the hospital almost ready to die, And their poor old mothers, you know, They were running from door to door, So many have lost their lives. Now colored people I will tell you and tell you to your face, The train that left Durham, was loaded with our race, And some did not think of dying When they rode on down the line, So many have lost their lives. 4 They put the dead in their coffins and sent them back to town, And then they were taken to the burying ground, You could hear the coffin sound When they let those bodies down, So many have lost their lives.” “(by Franklin Williams and William Firkins)” Note:This is the form of the song as it appears in a broadside published by the Reform Publishing Company, an African-American printer in Durham. The song was likely not composed by Williams and Firkins, who ran operations in the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co’s factory in Durham.

A Drunkard When I was lad, I had a bad dad, I mean he was bad in a way, Every nickle and cent for liquor he spent, Till death came and stole him away. Chorus: "Flowers, bouquets of flowers," I cried. I may not look neat While walking the street, While working for Mother and I. My mother took sick, they said she would die, But to bear all her troubles she strove. She called me to her bed, what do you recon she said? To meet her in Heaven above. Oh, tell me a man who never did wrong, Who never stayed out at night, Who stayed at his home and minded his own, And rocked his dear children to sleep.
