Charlie Daniels Band, The - Night Hawk Lyrics
We'd worked ourselves senseless
Drivin' dry cattle, no water in sight
As we sat 'round the fire
And cursed the barbed wire
A stranger broke into our light
Not knowin' no better
Some fool went for leather
But a whispered "I wouldn't"
Put an end to the fight
Then he said, "I'm for hire.
"You need a rider.
"And I don't mind ridin' at night."
Go light on the Night Hawk
He don't smile, he don't talk
And you'll do well to listen
When he asks you to leave him alone
He won't ask you again
Though the man is a myst'ry
The story is hist'ry
How a range fire came
Like a thief in the night
Took his young wife and babies
His would-bes and maybes
And burned out the love in his life
Go light on the Night Hawk
He don't smile, he don't talk
To strangers, and seldom to friends
And you'll do well to listen
When he asks you to leave him alone
He won't ask you again

(. ) Vaqueros y motores simplemente no se dan bien
Y no puedes golpear la maldita máquina
Puedes intentarlo, pero nunca tendrás éxito
Y ahora no hay sitio para gente como yo
Porque no puedes golpear la maldita máquina "
Great tune!
Brian Johnson Whats that got to do with this song? hes talkin about motors , you know engines?

Love CDB, Miss Taz RIP. Good writing, Taz.

Thank you, Charlie...brings back memories of my misspent (but fun) youth. Great lyrics, great performance. Long live the CDB.
May god bless you and let you live for a 80 more years... Wish Ronnie van Zant was still around!
And Toy Caldwell as well.
Good Work!
Lovely song and musical performance !
nice song Charlie. cowboys and engines :)
It's engines. Not injuns. There isn't anything racist about the song so why are you trying to make it racist?
