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
