James Taylor - Sweet Baby James Lyrics
There is a young cowboy he lives on the rangeHis horse and his cattle are his only companionsHe works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyonsWaiting for summer, his pastures to changeAnd as the moon rises he sits by his fireThinking about women and glasses of beerAnd closing his eyes as the doggies retireHe sings out a song which is soft but its clearAs if maybe someone could hear(chorus)Goodnight you moonlight ladiesRockabye sweet baby jamesDeep greens and blues are the colors I chooseWont you let me go down in my dreamsAnd rockabye sweet baby jamesNow the first of december was covered with snowAnd so was the turnpike from stockbridge to bostonLord, the berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frostingWith ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to goTheres a song that they sing when they take to the highwayA song that they sing when they take to the seaA song that they sing of their home in the skyMaybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleepBut singing works just fine for me- chorus -
