There is a young cow-boy who lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only com-panions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and bottles of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies re-tire, he sings out a song which is soft but it’s clear
As if maybe someone could hear
CHORUS:
Goodnight, you moonlight la - dies,
rockabye Sweet Baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won’t you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye Sweet Baby James.
