Night Dawn
The night grew cold ; The moon shown blue ; When l hit the broad highway ; The winds of change turned ; Strong and strange ; I leave my childhood behind ; Until I spy the light of day ; Dreaming of treasures to find ; If l had a silver dollar ; Spend it on the one l love ; If it's stuck in lonesome holler ; I wish it on the mourning dove ; Miles soon slid beneath my feet ; Time slipped through my fingers ; Every sweet temptation l met ; Gave me cause to linger ; Not many a wilder youth than l ; I'll ride on the dark 'til the night I die ; 'Til the night l die ; Wish it on the mourning dove ; Wish it on the mourning dove;
