Sweet Baby James-Carole King/James Taylor

[00:00.00] There is a young cowboy he lives on the range [00:15.12]His horse and his cattle are his only companions [00:21.84]He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons [00:27.78]Waiting for summer, his pastures to change [00:37.53]And as the moon rises he sits by his fire [00:43.56]Thinking about women and glasses of beer [00:49.35]And closing his eyes as the doggies retire [00:55.26]He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear [01:01.32]As if maybe someone could hear [01:05.91](chorus) [01:10.44]Goodnight you moonlight ladies [01:16.47]Rockabye sweet baby james [01:22.50]Deep greens and blues are the colors i choose [01:28.14]Won't you let me go down in my dreams [01:34.65]And rockabye sweet baby james [01:40.44]Now the first of december was covered with snow [01:48.06]And so was the turnpike from stockbridge to boston [01:55.41]Lord, the berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting [02:01.59]With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go [02:12.12]There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway [02:18.60]A song that they sing when they take to the sea [02:24.75]A song that they sing of their home in the sky [02:30.57]Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep [02:37.29]But singing works just fine for me [02:46.59]- chorus -
