Night Rider's Lament

	作词 : Burton
	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
