Night rider, night rider
You may think that it's the breeze
Whistling through the lonely trees
But it's only him a'flying round the bend
As the day comes to that end
Night rider, night rider
He came riding into town
As the sun was goin' down
Saw my baby and he smiled her heart away
Now what will I do today?
Cautioned my baby to stay at home
Not to leave mama's side
She laughed when I told her take care, take care
Or you'll share in his midnight ride
Night rider, night rider
Since you stole her out of sight
I ain't had no peaceful night
Night rider, won't you let my baby be?
Come on, send her back to me
Cautioned my baby to stay at home
Not to leave mama's side
She laughed when I told her take care, take care
Or you'll share in his midnight ride
Night rider, night rider
Since you stole her out of sight
I ain't had no peaceful night
Night rider, won't you let my baby be?
Come on, send her back to me
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
