| Night rider, night rider
|
| You may think that it’s the breeze
|
| Whispering through the lonely trees
|
| But it’s only him a’flying round the bend
|
| As the day comes to that end
|
| Night rider, night rider
|
| He came riding to town
|
| As the sun was going down
|
| Saw my baby and he smiled her heart away
|
| Now what will I do today
|
| Cautioned my baby to stay at home
|
| Not to leave mama’s side
|
| She laughed when I told her take care, take care
|
| Or you’ll share in his midnight ride
|
| Night rider, night rider
|
| Since he stole around the side
|
| I ain’t had no peace of mind
|
| Night rider, won’t you let my baby be
|
| Come on, send her back to me |
