There's silver on the sage tonight
Sprinkled by the Moon above
So lie down dawgies and let me dream
Of the one gal I love

There's silver on the sage tonight
We've been on the trail all day
So lie down doggies and you dream too
Of a range far away

Of a range waitin' for you
Where the streams never go dry
And the grass sparkles with dewdrops
In the meadows of the sweet by and by

There's silver on the sage tonight
Sprinkled by the Moon above
So lie down dawgies and let me dream
Of the one I love
Of the gal I love
