Píseň: Along The Navaho Trail

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Encore
Every day a lullabout evening
 When the sunlights beginning to fail
 I ride through the slumbering shadows
 Along the Navajo Trail


 When it's nigth and crickets are calling
 And coyotes are making a wail
 I dream by a smouldering fire
 Along the Navajo Trail


 {part 3}
 When the wind is strumming a sage-brushed guitar
 And over yonder hill the moon is climbing
 It always finds me whistling on a star
 What do you know it's morning already
 There's the dawning, so silver and pale
 It's time to climb in my saddle
 I want to ride the Navajo Trail


 I love the lie and listen to all the music
 {repeat part 3}
 I want to ride the Navajo Trail


 with fellows like Maverick and Cheyenne,
 the indians and their bow and arrows
 the boys and guns and love to travel
 along the Navajo Trail
