[Lomax verse 1]
I know my rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know my rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know she's gonna miss me from rolling in her arms

[Lomax verse 4]
Well did you ever wake up and found your rider gone?
Well did you ever wake up and found your rider gone?
Well put you on a wonder and wish you'd never been born

[Lomax verse 10]
Sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
Sun's gonna shine in my back door some day
Winds gonna rise and blow my blues away

[Lomax verse 9]
I'll build your fire, you know I'll cut your logs
I'll build your fire, you know I'll cut your logs
I'll be a loving baby but I ain't gonna be your dog

[Non-Lomax verse]
Well dawn's coming early, night's gonna fade away
I said dawn's coming early, night's gonna fade away
Ever see your rider coming, baby, 'bout the break of day

[Lomax verse 1]
I know my rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know my rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
I know she's gonna miss me from rolling in her arms

I know my rider gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm gone
