chatham county line - dark rider lyrics
they call him the dark rider
on his horse as black as night
he rides the midnight hour
to make sure you boys do right
mama told me “son you’d better walk straight”
get tucked in your bed ‘fore the hour gets late
‘cause outside your window borne on the wind
the dark rider waits to ride again
she called him dark rider
on his horse as black as night
he rides the midnight hour
to make sure you boys do right
in a three piece suit, eyes black as the coal
on the turn of the hour, he come for your soul
a golden watch swung from a chain
where instead of numbers he reads your name
one night i had strayed and come off the path
it happened so easy, happened so fast
and outside my window as i shook and prayed
i swore i heard that jingling chain
here come the dark rider
on his horse as black as night
he rides the midnight hour
to make sure you boys do right
