There is a young cowboy he lives on the range |
| [00:12.48] |
His horse and his cattle are his only companions |
| [00:19.77] |
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons |
| [00:25.53] |
Waiting for summer his pastures to change |
| [00:35.41] |
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire |
| [00:41.12] |
Thinking about women and glasses of beer |
| [00:46.79] |
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire |
| [00:52.54] |
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear |
| [00:58.15] |
As if maybe someone could hear |
| [01:06.60] |
Goodnight you moonlight ladies |
| [01:12.32] |
Rockabye sweet baby James |
| [01:17.88] |
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose |
| [01:23.16] |
Won't you let me go down in my dreams |
| [01:28.48] |
And rockabye sweet baby James |
| [01:34.06] |
Now the first of December was covered with snow |
| [01:41.46] |
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston |
| [01:47.97] |
Lord the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting |
| [01:53.91] |
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go |
| [02:03.06] |
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway |
| [02:09.06] |
A song that they sing when they take to the sea |
| [02:14.54] |
A song that they sing of their home in the sky |
| [02:19.81] |
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep |
| [02:25.57] |
But singing works just fine for me |
| [02:33.95] |
So goodnight you moonlight ladies |
| [02:39.76] |
Rockabye sweet baby James |
| [02:45.29] |
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose |
| [02:50.53] |
Won't you let me go down in my dreams |
| [02:56.08] |
And rockabye sweet baby James |
