There's a spot I know where no man will go
Where the shadows have all the room
I was riding free on that old SP
Humming a southern tune
When a man come along and made me hush my song
Kicked me off away out there
When sun make the tall shadows run across those barren plains
Then a hum to tune up to the rising moon
He gets lonesome way out there
Then
I close my eyes to the starless skies I lost myself in dreams
I dream the desert sand was a milking
honey land Then I woke up with a start
There's a train coming back That one way track
Gonna take me away from here
Humming a southern tune
As she passed me by I caught her on the fly I climbed in an open door
Then I looked around to the desert
ground Saw the spot I would see no more
As I was riding away I heard the pale moon say
Farewell pal it sure gets lonesome here
