Chris Ledoux - Night Rider's Lament Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • While I was out a ridin' the grave yard shift midnight till dawn
  • The moon was bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home
  • And he asked me why do you ride for your money and why do you rope for short pay
  • You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share
  • Boy you must have gone crazy out there
  • He said last night he runnin' to Jenny she's married and has a good life
  • And boy you sure missed the track when you never come back
  • She's the perfect professional's wife
  • And she asked him why does he ride for his money
  • And tell me why does he rope for short pay
  • He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share
  • Well he must've gone crazy out there
  • Ah but they've never seen the Northern Lights
  • They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing
  • They've never spent spring on the Great Divide
  • And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing
  • Well I read up the last of my letter and tore off the stamp for black Jim
  • And when Billy rode up to relieve me he just looked at my letter and grinned
  • He said you know I wonder why do they ride for their money
  • Tell me why do they ride for short pay
  • They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share
  • Son, they all must be crazy out there
  • They ain't never seen the Northern Lights
  • They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing
  • They've never spent spring on the Great Divide
  • And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing
