When the sunlight's beginning to pale 
 I ride through the slumbering shadows 
 Along the Navajo Trail 
  
 When it's night and crickets are callin' 
 And coyotes are makin' a wail 
 I dream by a smoldering fire 
 Along the Navajo Trail 
  
 I love to lie and listen to the music 
 When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar 
 When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' 
 It always finds me wishin' on a star 
  
 Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already 
 There's the dawnin', so silver and pale 
 It's time to climb into my saddle 
 And ride the Navajo Trail 
  
 I love to lie and listen to the music 
 When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar 
 When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' 
 It always finds me wishin' on a star 
  
 Well whatta ya know, it's mornin' already 
 There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil) 
 It's time to climb into my saddle 
 And ride the Navajo Trail 
 Ride the Navajo Trail 
 Ride the Navajo Trail
