Píseň: Twilight On The Trail

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Swing Low
When it's twilight on the trail,
 And I jog along, 
 The world is like a dream 
 And the ripple of the stream is my song...


 When it's twilight on the trail,
 And I rest once more, 
 My ceiling is the sky 
 And the grass on which I lie is my floor...


 Never ever have a nickel in my jeans,
 Never ever have a debt to pay, 
 Still I understand what real contentment means, 
 Guess I was born that way...


 When it's twilight on the trail,
 And my voice is still, 
 Please plant this heart of mine 
 Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill...
