There is a young cow-boy he lives on the range 4 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -6 6 5 4 5 6 His horse and his cat-tle are his on-ly com-pan-ions 4 -6 -6 -6 -7 -7 6 -5 6 5 4 5 6 He works in the sad-dle and he sleeps in the can-yons -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 -4 5 -4 Wait-ing for Sum-mer, his pas-tures to change 4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -6 6 -5 6 And as the moon ri-ses he sits by his fire -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 6 5 4 -4 Think-ing a-bout wo-men and glas-ses of beer 4 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6 And clos-ing his eyes as the do-gies re-tire 4 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 6 5 4 5 He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear 4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 As if may-be some-one could hear 5 5 -5 -5 5 -4 5 Good-night you moon-light la-dies -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 Rock-a-bye sweet ba-by James -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 6 4 4 Deep greens and blues are the col-ors I choose 4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 Won't you let me go down in my dreams -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 And rock-a-bye sweet ba-by James Now the first of December was covered with snow And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Lord, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway A song that they sing when they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing works just fine for me Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rock-a-bye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rock-a-bye sweet baby James |
