Why do you rope for short pay You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share You must have gone crazy out there Tells me last night he run

on Kinakeet Island Where they dance and sing Lament the Brave Ghost Rider the waves are rolling thin We're on our way to Kinakeet Island Lament

Translation: Nanci Griffith. Night Rider's Lament.

One night while I was out a ridin' The grave yard shift, midnight 'til dawn The moon was bright as a readin' light For a letter from an old friend

Why do you rope for short pay? You ain't gettin' nowhere And you're losin' your share Oh, you must've gone crazy out there He said last night I ran into
