There is a young cow^Dboy he lives o^An the r^Gange. ^D Bm G D A His horse and his cattle are his only companion. Bm G D A He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. G D A Em A Waiting for summer, his pastures to change. G A D And as the moon rises he sits by his fire. Bm G D A Thinkin' about women and glasses of beer. G A D Closing his eyes as the doggies retire Bm G D E He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear A E A As if maybe someone could hear.

D G A D CHORUS: Goodnight you moonlight ladies. Bm G D Rock-a-bye sweet baby James. Bm G D D Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose. A E A A Won't you let me go down in my dreams. G A D And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

G D A Em A With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go. There's a ^Gsong that they sing when they ^Atake to the ^Dhighway. A ^Bmsong that they ^Gsing when they ^Dtake to the ^Asea. A ^Gsong that they sing of they're ^Ahome in the ^Dsky. Maybe ^Bmyou can be^Glieve it if it ^Dhelps you to ^Esleep. But ^Asinging works just ^Efine for ^Ame. ^A
