[00:05.74]There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
[00:12.48]His horse and his cattle are his only companions
[00:19.77]He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
[00:25.53]Waiting for summer his pastures to change
[00:35.41]And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
[00:41.12]Thinking about women and glasses of beer
[00:46.79]And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
[00:52.54]He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
[00:58.15]As if maybe someone could hear
[01:06.60]Goodnight you moonlight ladies
[01:12.32]Rockabye sweet baby James
[01:17.88]Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
[01:23.16]Won't you let me go down in my dreams
[01:28.48]And rockabye sweet baby James
[01:34.06]Now the first of December was covered with snow
[01:41.46]And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
[01:47.97]Lord the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting
[01:53.91]With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
[02:03.06]There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
[02:09.06]A song that they sing when they take to the sea
[02:14.54]A song that they sing of their home in the sky
[02:19.81]Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
[02:25.57]But singing works just fine for me
[02:33.95]So goodnight you moonlight ladies
[02:39.76]Rockabye sweet baby James
[02:45.29]Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
[02:50.53]Won't you let me go down in my dreams
[02:56.08]And rockabye sweet baby James
