I'm an old, long-time cowboy-songs fan, and I'm looking for the names of a couple of songs I heard many years ago. I believe the singer on the radio was Marty Robbins. My memory is not what it used to be, but the lyrics of the first song ended like this:

...Rangers have gathered and circled around...
...my old horse is trembling, falls to the ground ...
...my warm blood is spilling onto the ground...
...and I know I won't meet you in old Abilene.

The second one was played, for me, from a record an Air Force friend had bought overseas and was called (I think) The Night Hawk. The refrain contained these two lines:

"go light on the night hawk,
he won't smile and he won't talk."

If anybody has any idea about either of these, please let me know. I would be deeply obliged. Also -- about that request for a Marty Robbins recording about the Little Box of Pine on the 7.59 -- you can buy a boxed set containing that -- it's called Portrait of Marty, and I saw it listed at Amazon.com under music on a search for "Marty Robbins".

Thank you all.
