Suzy Bogguss
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.

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:
She 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
Oh, you must've gone crazy out there.

They've never seen the northern lights
Never seen a hawk on the wing
Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide
And they ain't ever heard old Camp Cookie sing.

--- Instrumental with Yodel ---

Now, I read up the last of my letter
And tore of the stamp for Black Jim
Little Dougie rode up to relieve me
He just looked at my letter and grinned.

Chorus:
He said
"Why do they ride for your money?"
"Why do they rope for short pay?"
They ain't gettin' nowhere
And they're losin' your share
Oh, They all must be crazy out there.

They've never seen the northern lights
Never seen a hawk on the wing
Never seen the spring at the Great Divide
And they ain't ever heard old Camp Cookie sing...

--- Instrumental with Yodels to fade ---

--- Instrumental with Yodels to fade ---

And they ain't ever heard old Camp Cookie sing...
Never seen the spring at the Great Divide
Never seen a hawk on the wing
They've never seen the northern lights

Oh, They all must be crazy out there.
And they're losin' your share
They ain't gettin' nowhere
"Why do they rope for short pay?"
"Why do they ride for your money?"
He said
Chorus:

He just looked at my letter and grinned.
Little Dougie rode up to relieve me
And tore of the stamp for Black Jim
Now, I read up the last of my letter

--- Instrumental with Yodel ---

And they ain't ever 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

Oh, 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?"
She asked me,
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

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'
