JAMES TAYLOR - Sweet Baby James lyrics

rate me

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range<br>His horse and his cattle are his only companions<br>He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons<br>Waiting for summer, his pastures to change<br><br>And as the moon rises he sits by his fire<br>Thinking about women and glasses of beer<br>And closing his eyes as the doggies retire<br>He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear<br>As if maybe someone could hear<br><br>(chorus)<br>Goodnight you moonlight ladies<br>Rockabye sweet baby james<br>Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose<br>Won't you let me go down in my dreams<br>And rockabye sweet baby james<br><br>Now the first of december was covered with snow<br>And so was the turnpike from stockbridge to boston<br>Lord, the berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting<br>With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go<br><br>There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway<br>A song that they sing when they take to the sea<br>A song that they sing of their home in the sky<br>Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep<br>But singing works just fine for me<br><br>- chorus -
