Prairie Lullaby lyrics
by Michael Nesmith
Shadows slowly creeping
Down the prairie trail
Everything is sleeping
Ah, but the nightingale
Moon will soon be climbin'
In the purple sky
Night winds all a-humming
This tender lullaby
Cares of the day have fled
My little sleepyhead
Stars are in the sky
Time that the prayers were said
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
Saddle up your pony
Sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
De-do-de-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee, do-lay-ee
Saddle up your pony
Sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
De-do-de-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
[Outro, spoken]
