[E] This is the good night loving trail
Song written by the late great [B] anarchist folk singer you Utah Phillips
[E] It's kind of one of those cowboy songs
but unlike a lot of them this one's a reminder that most of [B] the guys that worked out there were [E] overworked and
Underpaid and they never saw much of the [A] profit to begin with this tells the story of [B] a cook on a wagon train
They used to call the old [A] woman because [E] he couldn't do
Most of the regular work anymore and had to do the work of taking care of everybody

[E]
On the good night trail on the [G#m] love [A] and trail

[E] On the good night trail on [G#] the love [A] and trail

Wearing an apron [E] instead of a name.
There's no one can [G#] change [A] it and no one to [B]
