Night Hawk lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 song lyrics
