[Chorus]
Leanin' on the old top rail in the big corral
Looking 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 shining pale on a lonesome gal
Leanin' on the old top rail in the big corral

[Chorus]
Leanin' on the old top rail in the big corral
Looking down the twilight trail for my long lost pal
How he sang when he sprang on his old mustang and rode, he rode away
Down the track, by my shack, he said, "I'll be back another day"
Now the moon is shining pale on a lonesome gal
Leanin' on the old top rail in the big corral
