Chant of the night songs; (Don Edwards)

3/4

(C) When days work is over and (Dm7) supper times gone

I'll (G7) tell you a story of the (C) night riders song

That (F) long lonesome (G) whistle and (C) tunes with no (Am) words

The (F) chat of the night (G7) songs we sang round the (C) herd

Cattle on the bed ground and I hope that they'll stay

Till we're back on the trail at the breakin of day

But until dawn I hope that they'll sleep

Rest easy weary cattle to the cowboys melody

My trusty little night horse he's gentle and smart

He's heard my songs so much he knows em by heart

The creak of the saddle a loose bridle rein

His hooves keepin time to poor Liza Jane

Got to keep the herd settled don't want no stampede

Two thousand runnin steers is what I don't need

Cause lightning and longhorns ain't no kind of game

It's sure hell for leather thru the thunder and rain

What keeps the herd from runnin stampedin far and wide

The night riders moan and the texas lullaby

In all kinds of weather the lonely night thru

The chant of the night songs the night riders blues

Now the days of the range ridin cowboy are gone

The lonely night rider has sung his last song

That long lonesome whistle and tunes with no words

The chant of the night songs no more to be heard
