There is a young cowboy he lives on the range |
| [00:11.58] |
His horse and his cattle are his only companions |
| [00:17.64] |
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons |
| [00:22.72] |
Waiting for summer his pastures to change |
| [00:31.84] |
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire |
| [00:36.73] |
Thinking about women and glasses of beer |
| [00:41.77] |
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire |
| [00:46.73] |
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear |
| [00:51.80] |
As if maybe someone could hear |
| [00:59.80] |
Goodnight you moonlight ladies |
| [01:04.90] |
Rockabye sweet baby James |
| [01:09.96] |
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose |
| [01:14.81] |
Won't you let me go down in my dreams |
| [01:19.83] |
And rockabye sweet baby James |
| [01:24.92] |
Now the first of December was covered with snow |
| [01:31.44] |
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston |
| [01:37.59] |
Lord the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting |
| [01:42.71] |
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go |
| [01:51.52] |
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway |
| [01:56.80] |
A song that they sing when they take to the sea |
| [02:01.95] |
A song that they sing of their home in the sky |
| [02:06.71] |
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep |
| [02:12.29] |
But singing works just fine for me |
| [02:19.52] |
So goodnight you moonlight ladies |
| [02:24.87] |
Rockabye sweet baby James |
| [02:29.80] |
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose |
| [02:34.79] |
Won't you let me go down in my dreams |
| [02:39.81] |
And rockabye sweet baby James |
