Lyrics:

Well, I’ve got to run to keep from hiding,
And I’m bound to keep on riding.
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I ain't gonna let them get me, no,
Ain't gonna let ’em get the midnight (G) rider.

And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I ain't gonna let them get me, no,
Ain't gonna let ’em get the midnight rider.

And I’ve gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I’ll soon be sharing,
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I ain't gonna let them get me, no,
Ain't gonna let ’em get the midnight rider.
But I ain't gonna let them get me, no,
Ain't gonna let ’em get the midnight rider.
But I ain't gonna let them get me, no,
Ain't gonna let ’em get the midnight rider.
