I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

Lay down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest;
Lay down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest;
My mind was wanderin' like the wild geese in the West.

The sun will shine in my back door someday.
The sun will shine in my back door someday.
March winds will blow all my troubles away.

I wish I was a headlight, on a North-bound train.
I wish I was a headlight, on a North-bound train.
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log.
I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log.
Than stay here in Frisco, be treated like a dog.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms
