Lyrics
Stars of the midnight ranges Shining through the night

Stars of the midnight ranges Light my way tonight

While my herd is grazin' Guide them til the dawn

Watch them while I'm sleepin' Till the stars are gone

(Vocalizing)

(Accordion solo)

Candles up in heaven Lend your light so strange

Guide my weary dogies Stars of the midnight range
