[Chorus]

Riding up and down encinal canyon

Somewhere I know I will not be found

I’ll lay me down in encinal canyon

Somewhere I know you are not around

[Verse 1]

The morning star is fading out

Coyotes on the run

I must be on my way somehow

Before the morning sun

[Verse 2]

There was a time when I’d awake

With my sweetheart by my side

I would sigh and her heart would quake

But I knew I had to ride

[Chorus]

Riding up and down encinal canyon

Somewhere I know I will not be found

I’ll lay me down in encinal canyon

Somewhere I know you are not around
