Nanci Griffith
Night Rider's Lament

(Michael Burton)

While I was out a-ridin'

The graveyard shift midnight till dawn

The moon was as bright as a reading light

For a letter from an old friend back home

Chorus

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 losin' your share

You must've gone crazy out there

He said last night I ran into Jenny

They married and have a good life

Oh, you sure missed the track when you never came back

She made the perfect professional's wife

Chorus

Bridge

They've never seen the northern lights

Never seen a hawk on the wing

Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide

Oh, they never heard old Camp Cookie sing

I read up the last of my letter

And tore off the stamp for Black Jim

Little Dougie rode up to relieve me

He just looked at my letter and grinned

Chorus

Bridge


Mirror lyrics:

Bridge

Chorus

He just looked at my letter and grinned

Little Dougie rode up to relieve me

And tore off the stamp for Black Jim

I read up the last of my letter

Oh, they never heard old Camp Cookie sing

Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide

Never seen a hawk on the wing

They've never seen the northern lights

Bridge

Chorus

She made the perfect professional's wife

Oh, you sure missed the track when you never came back

They married and have a good life

He said last night I ran into Jenny

You must've gone crazy out there

And you're losin' your share

You ain't gettin' nowhere

Why do you rope for short pay?

Why do you ride for your money?

He asked me

Chorus

For a letter from an old friend back home

The moon was as bright as a reading light

The graveyard shift midnight till dawn

While I was out a-ridin'
