Night Hawk lyrics

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
