Night Rider's Lament
One night as I was riding Graveyard shift, midnight to dawn The moon was as bright as a reading light For a letter from an old friend back home He asked me, 'Why do you ride for your money? Why do you rope for short pay? You ain't gettin' nowhere and you're loosin' your share You must have gone crazy out there.'
He said, 'Last night I run into Jenny She's married and has a good lif Oh, you sure missed the track when you never come back; She's the perfect professional's wife
She asked me, 'Why does he ride for his money? Why does he rope for short pay? He ain't gettin' nowhere and he's loosing his share He must have gone crazy out there''
But they've never seen the Northern Lights Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Never seen the hawk on the wing Never seen the spring hit the great divide They've never heard old camp cookie sing
Well, I read up the rest of my letter I tore off the stamp for Black Jim Billy rode up to relieve me He looked at my letter and grinned
He said, 'Why do we ride for your money? Why do we rope for short pay? Ww ain't gettin' nowhere and were loosing our share Oh, we all must be crazy out here But they've never seen the Northern Lights Never seen the hawk on the wing. Never seen the spring hit the great divide They've never heard old camp cookie sing
