Lullaby for a Little Cowboy

Sleep, my child, the moon shines bright,Stars are dancing in the sky so highSwing creaks low, grass whispers near —World’s at rest, so hush, my dear

Hush‐a‐bye, my little cowboy,Sweet dreams are coming, soft and slowClouds like a herd across the sky,To wonderland they guide you high

Shepherd’s dozing, sheep are still,Dog lies by the door, all calm and chillWind says softly Quiet now,Rest a while, don’t you frown

Hush‐a‐bye, my little cowboy,Sweet dreams are coming, soft and slowClouds like a herd across the sky,To wonderland they guide you high

Morn will bring your chestnut steed,Sunshine, wind, and prairie’s creedBut for now, just close your eyes,Sleep in peace, beneath the skies
