| 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 |
