Sweet Baby James

In the style of

James Taylor

Lyrics

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

and as the moon rises
he sits by his fire
thinkin' about women
and glasses of beer

and closing his eyes
as the doggies retire
he sings out a song
which is soft
but it's clear
as if maybe
someone could hear

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

now the first
of december
was covered
with snow
and so was
the turnpike
from stockbridge
to boston

though the berkshires
seem dreamlike
on account
of that frostin'
with ten miles
behind me
and ten thousand
more to go

there's a song
that they sing
when 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

so 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
