[00:00:00] The Nights - Lee Hazlewood

[00:00:00] Written by：Lee Hazlewood/Mats Olsson

[00:00:11] Her skin was the color

[00:00:14] Of the mountains' first winter snow

[00:00:17] His skin was the color

[00:00:19] Of the hot sun summer glow

[00:00:22] And they met by a river called Okemah

[00:00:25] In an August of another time

[00:00:28] She fell in love with this red man

[00:00:31] And left her people behind

[00:00:33] And she learned these things

[00:00:36] The ways of a red man are lonely

[00:00:39] And his woman can expect little more

[00:00:42] And a day filled with hard work and sorrow

[00:00:46] And so she lived for

[00:00:48] The nights the nights

[00:00:52] And they followed his tribe

[00:00:56] On a hard trail to the Dakotas far away

[00:00:59] And they hunted a big buffalo

[00:01:01] And they heard the old chief say

[00:01:05] The white man has walked here before us

[00:01:08] And killed buffalo for their hides

[00:01:11] And so this winter our women and children

[00:01:14] Will feel much hunger inside

[00:01:17] And she learned these things

[00:01:20] The ways of a red man are lonely

[00:01:23] And his woman can expect little more

[00:01:25] And a day filled with hard work and sorrow

[00:01:28] And so she lived for

[00:01:31] The nights the nights

[00:01:36] That winter they died by the hundreds

[00:01:39] The people of this red man's tribe

[00:01:41] She walked the cold ground

[00:01:44] And cursed the white man

[00:01:45] Who killed buffalo for their hides

[00:01:47] And they buried their mothers and fathers

[00:01:50] And their children they loved so

[00:01:52] They prayed the son god will come soon

[00:01:55] And melt the Dakota snow

[00:01:58] And she learned these things

[00:02:01] The ways of a red man are lonely

[00:02:04] And his woman can expect little more

[00:02:06] And a day filled with hard work and sorrow

[00:02:10] And so she lived for

[00:02:12] The nights the nights

[00:02:17] And the spring came early to the Dakotas that year

[00:02:21] And the buffalo numbered ten times ten

[00:02:23] They filled their stomachs

[00:02:25] Made their clothes and started their lives again

[00:02:28] And she bore her lover boy child

[00:02:31] Fulfilled the promise of spring

[00:02:34] And from old comes new

[00:02:36] And new is life and life is an eternal thing

[00:02:39] And she learned these things

[00:02:42] The ways of a red man are lonely

[00:02:45] And his woman can expect little more

[00:02:48] And a day filled with hard work and sorrow

[00:02:51] And so she lived for

[00:02:53] The nights the nights

[00:02:58] The nights the nights
