I know you rider, gonna miss me when I’m gone
I know you rider, you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
Gonna miss your pretty mama from rollin’ in your arms

I love you rider, and I know you must love me some
I love you rider, and I know you must love me some
You put your arms around me like a circle ’round the sun

I lay down last night, and I tried to take my rest
I lay down last night, and I tried to take my rest
My heart was ramblin’ like some wild geese in the west

Going to the river, I’m going to sit down on the log
I’m going to the river, I’m going to sit down on the log
I can’t be you honey, but I’m sure goin’ to be your dog

The sun’s gonna shine in my back yard someday
The sun’s gonna shine in my back yard someday
The west wind’s gonna rise up and blow my blues away
