The Highwaymen - Sweet Baby James lyrics

Artist: The Highwaymen

album: 25th Reunion Concert


There is a young cowboy who lives on the ranch
His horse and his cattle are his only companion
He works in the saddle
And he sleeps in the canyon
Waiting for summer
His pastures to change
As the moon rises
He sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
Closes his eyes as the doggies retire
Sings out which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dream
And rockabye sweet baby James
Now the first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Though the Berkshires seem dream like
On account of that frosting
Ten miles behind me
Ten thousand more to go
There's a song they sing when they take to the highway
There's a song that they sing when they take to the sea
There's a song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you could believe it
If it helps you to sleep
Singing works just fine for me
So Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby James
