Traditional
I Know You Rider (Live at Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, 1966)
[Chorus]
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms
[Verse 1]
Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest
Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I wish I was a headlight, on a northbound train
I wish I was a headlight, on a northbound train
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'd drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
I'd drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
Than stay here in Frisco, be treated like a dog
[Verse 4]
The sun will shine in my back door someday
The sun will shine in my back door someday
March winds will blow all my troubles away
[Outro]
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know you rider, gonna miss mе when I'm gone
