The desert is long, the desert is wide The Sun is hot, the Sun is high The Tarantula and the Scorpions creep The Buzzard and the Eagle and the Falcon fly The Canyon is large, the Canyon is deep The Cactus and the Joshua tree grow The Tumble **** rolls and spirits call The night is cold, the night is long The Moon is bright, the River winds The Rattle Snake and the Coral Snake live And the Mountain Lion Stalks The Shadows play tricks And Men lose their minds The Wind blows, the Wind howls The colors are like the Rainbow The time stands still.
