Sweet Baby James George Hamilton IV

[Verse 1]
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in them canyons
A-waiting for summer, his pastures to change

[Verse 2]
And as the moon rises, he sits by his fire
A-thinking about women and glasses of beer
A-closing his eyes as the dogies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear

[Chorus]
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you lеt me go down in my dreams?
And rockabye sweet baby Jamеs

[Verse 3]
The first of December was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Wichita to Austin
Oh, the flint hills seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go, whoa
