When the sunlight's beginning to pale
 I ride through the slumbering shadows
 Along the Navajo Trail

 When it's night and crickets are callin'
 And coyotes are makin' a wail
 I dream by a smoldering fire
 Along the Navajo Trail

 I love to lie and listen to the music
 When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
 When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
 It always finds me wishin' on a star

 Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already
 There's the dawnin', so silver and pale
 It's time to climb into my saddle
 And ride the Navajo Trail

 I love to lie and listen to the music
 When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
 When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
 It always finds me wishin' on a star

 Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already
 There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil)
 It's time to climb into my saddle
 And ride the Navajo Trail
 Ride the Navajo Trail
 Ride the Navajo Trail
