We`d worked ourselves senseless Been bustin` down fences Drivin` dry cattle, no water in sight As we sat `round the fire And cursed the barbed wire A stranger broke into our light
Not knowin` no better Some fool went for leather But a whispered "I wouldn`t" Put an end to the fight Then he said, "I`m for hire. "You need a rider. "And I don`t mind ridin` at night."
[Chorus] Go light on the Night Hawk He don`t smile, he don`t talk To strangers, and seldom to friends And you`ll do well to listen When he asks you to leave him alone He won`t ask you again
Though the man is a myst`ry The story is hist`ry How a range fire came Like a thief in the night Took his young wife and babies His would-bes and maybes And burned out the love in his life
[Chorus] Go light on the Night Hawk He don`t smile, he don`t talk To strangers, and seldom to friends And you`ll do well to listen When he asks you to leave him alone He won`t ask you again
