Every day, along about evening, When the sunlight's beginning to fale,
I ride through the slumbering shadows, along the Navajo Trail.
When it's night and crickets are callin', and coyotes are makin' a wail,
I dream by a smoldering fire, along the Navajo Trail.
I love to lie and listen to the music, When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar,
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin', It always finds me wishin' on a star.
Well what do you know? It's mornin' already, There's the dawnin', so silver and pale,
It's time to climb into my saddle, And ride the Navajo Trail.
