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 laid down last night and I tried to take my rest
I laid down last night and I tried to take my rest
My heart was a-ramblin' like a wild geese in the West
Goin' to the river, I'm gonna sit down on the log
I'm goin' to the river, I'm gonna sit down on the log
If I can't be your honey, well I'll sure gonna be your dog
Sun's gonna shine in my backyard someday
Sun's gonna shine in my backyard someday
The west wind's gonna rise up and blow my blues away
