《Night Rider’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Night Rider's Lament - Chris Ledoux (克里斯-勒多克斯)

[00:00:39] While I was out

[00:00:41] A ridin'

[00:00:44] The grave yard shift midnight till dawn

[00:00:48] The moon was as bright as a readin' light

[00:00:53] For a letter from an old friend back home

[00:00:58] And he asked me

[00:01:00] Why do you ride for your money

[00:01:04] Why do you rope for short pay

[00:01:09] You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share

[00:01:17] You must have gone crazy out there

[00:01:24] Tells me last night he run on to Jenny

[00:01:29] She's married and has a good life

[00:01:33] Boy you sure missed the track when you never come back

[00:01:37] She's the perfect professional's wife

[00:01:43] And she asked him

[00:01:44] Why does he ride for his money

[00:01:49] Why does he rope for short pay

[00:01:53] He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share

[00:02:01] Well he must've gone crazy out there

[00:02:07] But they ain't never seen the northern lights

[00:02:13] They've never seen a hawk on the wing

[00:02:17] They've never seen spring at the great divide

[00:02:25] They've never heard ole camp cookie sing

[00:02:32] Well I read up the last of my letter

[00:02:37] Tore off the stamp for black Jim

[00:02:41] Bill he rode up to relieve me

[00:02:45] He just looked at my letter and grinned

[00:02:51] He said you know I wonder

[00:02:52] Why do they ride for their money

[00:02:57] Why do they ride for short pay

[00:03:01] They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share

[00:03:09] They all must be crazy back there

[00:03:15] 'Cause They ain't never seen the northern lights

[00:03:20] They've never seen a hawk on the wing

[00:03:25] They've never seen spring hit the great divide

[00:03:33] They've never heard ole camp cookie sing
