Well, [B] when the wind don't blow in [E] Amarillo, [B] and the moon [B] along the Gunnison [E] don't rise,
Well, [A] shall I cast my dreams [E] upon your love, babe,
And lie [A] beneath the laughter [E] of your eyes,
All snowing [A] on Raton?
[B] Come morning I'll be through them [E] hills and gone.
[B] Well, Mother thinks the road is [E] long and lonely,
[B] Little Brother thinks the road is [E] straight and fine,
[A] Oh, Darling thinks the road is straight [E] and lovely,
I'm thankful that [A] old road's a [E] friend of mine,
All [A] snowing [E] on Raton?
[B] Come morning I'll be through them [E] hills and gone,
[B] Ah, bid the years good-bye, you [E] cannot still them,
[B] Well, you cannot turn the circles of [E] the sun,
[A] Well, you cannot count the miles until [E] you feel them,
And you cannot [A] hold a lover that [E] has gone,
All [A] snowing [E]
[B] on [E] Raton?
