《Night Rider’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Night Rider's Lament - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:05] While I was out a-riding

[00:00:10] The graveyard shift midnight till dawn

[00:00:16] The moon was as bright as a reading light

[00:00:21] For a letter from an old friend back home

[00:00:25] And He asked me

[00:00:26] Why do you ride for your money

[00:00:31] Why do you rope for short pay

[00:00:36] You ain't getting nowhere

[00:00:38] And you're losing your share

[00:00:45] Oh You must've gone crazy out there

[00:00:50] He said last night I ran into Jenny

[00:00:56] They married and have a good life

[00:01:01] Oh you sure missed the track when you never came back

[00:01:06] She made the perfect professional's wife

[00:01:10] He asked me

[00:01:12] Why do you ride for your money

[00:01:17] Why do you rope for short pay

[00:01:22] You ain't getting nowhere

[00:01:24] And you're losing your share

[00:01:30] Oh You must've gone crazy out there

[00:01:36] They've never seen the northern lights

[00:01:41] Never seen a hawk on the wing

[00:01:47] Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide

[00:01:55] Oh they never heard old Camp Cookie sing

[00:02:21] Now I read up the last of my letter

[00:02:26] And tore off the stamp for Black Jim

[00:02:31] Little Dougie rode up to relieve me

[00:02:36] He just looked at my letter and grinned

[00:02:40] And He asked me

[00:02:42] Why do they ride for their money

[00:02:47] Why do they rope for short pay

[00:02:51] They ain't getting nowhere

[00:02:54] And they're losing their share

[00:03:00] Oh they must've crazy out there

[00:03:06] They've never seen the northern lights

[00:03:11] They Never seen a hawk on the wing

[00:03:16] They Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide

[00:03:25] And they never heard old Camp Cookie sing
