The Rider  
Recorded by Lefty Frizzell
Written by Wanda Tubb

G
Riding riding fast at midnight
D7
Comes a horseman o'er the vines
C G
Pressing on to find a shelter
D7 G
From the icy wind and rain


The night the night was black the wind blew stronger
D7
Winter's rains can freeze the blood with cold
C G
And as he rides along he wonders
D7 G
If he can out race the blinding snow

C G
So cold and weary of the saddle
C D7
As he rides he races with the wind
C G
Hoping that distant light before him
D7 G
Is someone who will let a stranger in


The wind its endless rage grew wilder
D7
No one could hear him knocking at the door
C G
He called to them the howling wind grew wilder
D7 G
His voice could not be heard above the roar


The night the night was black the wind blew stronger
D7
Winters rains can freeze the blood with cold
C G
And with the morning light they found him
D7 G
Underneath the mountain of snow

C G
So cold and weary of the saddle
C D7
When he felt the warmth that heaven sent
C G
He's resting now forever in the sunshine
D7 G
The angels must have let the stranger in
