Leanin' on the old top rail
In the big corral,
Lookin' down the twilight trail
For my long lost pal.

How he sang
When he sprang
On his old mustang,
And rode away.
Down the track
By my shack,
He said, "I'll be back
Another day".

Now the moon is shinin' pale
On a lonesome gal,
Leanin' on the old top rail
In the big corral.

How he sang
When he sprang
On his old mustang,
And rode away.
Down the track
By my shack,
He said, "I'll be back
Another day".

Now the moon is shinin' pale
On a lonesome gal,
Leanin' on the old top rail
In the big corral.
