I Know You Rider

Traditional

I lay down last night, Lord, could not take my rest
I lay down last night, Lord, could not take my rest
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

(break)

The Sun's gonna shine in my back door someday.
The Sun's gonna shine in my back door someday.
The cold March wind's gonna blow my cares away.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

(break)

I wish I was a headlight, on an East bound train
I wish I was a headlight, on an East bound train
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

(break)

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.
