Sweet Baby James

[00:06.12] There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range

[00:12.12] His horse and his cattle are his only companions

[00:18.37] He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons

[00:23.37] Waiting for summer, his pastures to change

[00:32.37] And as the moon rises he sits by his fire

[00:37.37] Thinking about women and glasses of beer

[00:42.62] And closing his eyes as the doggies retire

[00:47.37] He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear

[00:52.37] As if maybe someone could hear

[01:00.37] Goodnight you moonlight ladies

[01:05.37] Rockabye sweet baby James

[01:10.62] Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose

[01:15.37] Won't you let me go down in my dreams

[01:20.37] And rockabye sweet baby James

[01:25.37] Now the first of December was covered with snow

[01:32.12] So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston

[01:38.37] The Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting

[01:43.87] With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

[01:52.12] There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway

[01:57.37] A song that they sing when they take to the sea

[02:02.87] A song that they sing of their home in the sky

[02:07.37] Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep

[02:12.87] But singing works just fine for me

[02:19.87] So goodnight you moonlight ladies

[02:25.62] Rockabye sweet baby James

[02:30.87] Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose

[02:35.37] Won't you let me go down in my dreams

[02:40.37] And rockabye sweet baby James
