(Words & music: Doc Pomus / Mort Shuman)
Night rider, night rider,
You may think that its the breeze
Whispering through the lonely trees,
But its only him aflying round the bend
As the day comes to that end.
Night rider, night rider,
He came riding into town
As the sun was going down,
Saw my baby and he smiled her heart away,
Now what will I do today.
Cautioned my baby to stay at home,
Not to leave mamas side,
She laughed when I told her take care, take care,
Or youll share in his midnight ride.
Night rider, night rider,
Since he stole around the side
I aint had a peaceful night,
Night rider, wont you let my baby be,
Come on, send her back to me.
Cautioned my baby to stay at home,
Not to leave mamas side,
She laughed when I told her take care, take care,
Or youll share in his midnight ride.
Night rider, night rider,
Since he stole around the side
I aint had a peaceful night,
Night rider, wont you let my baby be,
Come on, send her back to me.
