I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone I know you rider, you gonna miss me when I'm gone You gonna miss your pretty mama from rolling in your arms I love you rider, and I know you must love me so I love you rider, and I know you must love me so 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 wandering like some wild geese in the west I'm going to the river, I'm gonna sit down all alone I'm going to the river, I'm gonna sit down all alone I can be your honey but I'm surely won't be your dog The sun's gonna shine in my back yard some day The sun's gonna shine in my back yard some day The west winds gonna rise and blow my blues away
