1
Well, you're too old to wrangle or ride in the swing
2
You beat the triangle and you curse everything
3
Now if dirt were a kingdom, well you would be king
4
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
5
Our old woman's lonesome tonight
6
And your French harp is crying just like a lone bawling calf
7
Well, it's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
8
Get in there and blow out the light
9
Now the cook fire's out, the coffee's all gone
10
Now the old boys are up and they're raising the dawn
11
You're sitting there, you are lost in a song
12
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
13
Our old woman is lonesome tonight
14
Now your French harp is crying just like a lone bawling calf
15
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
16
Get in there and blow out the light
17
Ah, with your snake oils, your herbs and your liniment too
18
You can do anything that a doctor can do
19
Well, except find a cure for your own goddam stew
20
On the Goodnight trail, on the loving trail
21
Our old woman is lonesome tonight
22
And your French harp is crying like a lone bawling calf
23
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
24
Get in there and blow out the light
25
Some day I know that I'll be just the same
26
I'll be wearing an apron instead of a name
27
Now no one can change it, no one's to blame
28
Cause the desert's a book writ in lizards and sage
29
You know, it's easy to look just like an old torn out page
30
You're all faded and cracked with the colors of age
31
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
32
Our old woman is lonesome tonight
33
And your French harp is crying like a lone bawling calf
34
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
35
Go in there and blow out the light
