[Verse 1]
The night was cold and the wind was howling
I was awaken by the sound of hoof beats pounding
Outside the window on the ground, my old hound dog was growling

[Chorus]
Grey Riders flew across my lawn
I looked again and they all were gone
That voice was calling and it cut through the night
"Come on boys, let her go"

[Verse 2]
Up on a hill they rode in one long column
They were freezing in the chill of the new day dawning
Their hair long and grey, they had just one voice calling

[Chorus]
Grey Riders on the morning sky
The sun made diamonds of their road-weary eyes
That voice was calling and it cut through the night
"Come on boys, let her go"

[Guitar and Fiddle Break]

[Chorus]
Grey Riders on the morning sky
The sun made diamonds of their road-weary eyes
That voice was calling and it cut through the night
"Come on boys, let her go"
[Verse 3]
The night was cold and the rain came down
Outside the window, on the ground my old hound dog was ah-woo!
I was awakened by the sound of hoof beats pounding

[Chorus]
Grey Riders flew across my lawn
I looked again and they all were gone
That voice was calling and it cut through the night
"Come on boys, let her go"
