Echo Canyon

The moon hardly shines down in Echo Canyon
It just hangs around about an hour a night
In a sliver of sky 'tween narrow horizons
I don’t even notice as it passes me by
The crickets are calling across Echo Canyon
A chilly wind moans to join in the song
Then a coyote howls out there in the distance
I ain’t goin nowhere so I’ll just sing along
Ho-ooh-ah Ooh-ah Ooh-ooh, ho-da-lo-oh-de-hee
Ooh Lo-Ooh Lo-Ooh
Well I took a ride out toward Echo Canyon
Like I do on those days when the blues get me down
Went lookin' to find my lost inspiration
Where there’s nothin' but nothin' for miles around
A rattlesnake on the rim along Echo Canyon
Spooked my sweet mare, and I ended up thrown
Now day’s turned to night down here at the bottom
Where I’m shiverin' and singin', just tryin' to keep warm
Ho-ooh-ah Ooh-ah Ooh-ooh, ho-da-lo-oh-de-hee
Ooh Ooh Ooh
And now the air has gone still here in Echo Canyon
As that cold lonesome feeling takes hold of my heart
And there is only the sound of some poor lost soul singin'
And a coyote’s answer somewhere in the dark
Ho-ooh-ah Oooh-ah Oooh-ooh, ho-da-lo-oh-de-hee-de-hee
Ooh Ooh-do Ooh-ooh-de-ooh-de-hee
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Lo-Ooh Lo-Oooh
Loo-ooh Lo-Ooh Lo-Ooh
