Sweet Baby James

Clay Aiken


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 the canyons 
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change 

There's a song that they sing as they take to the highway 
A song that they sing when they take to the sea 
A song that they sing of their home in the sky 
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep 
But singing works just fine for me 

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

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

Oh, rock-a-bye sweet baby James 
Oh, rock-a-bye sweet baby James
