Cowboy Lullaby Bonus Track (Victrola Mix) Lyrics

When the sun sets on the prairie and the dogies settle down

We make our camp beneath the risin' moon

Throw some sagebrush on the fire, as the cowboys gather 'round

To say "good night," and sing a favorite tune

Lay me down when night is falling

'Neath the starry blanket of a western sky

Where a warm breeze blows and the ol' coyote's calling, calling

That's a cowboy lullaby

It's a hard-time occupation, ridin' herd across the range

Through the blazin' sun, through snow or drivin' rain

But a feather bed with a roof overhead starts feelin' kinda strange

And so I'm headin' down the trail again

Lay me down when night is falling

'Neath the starry blanket of a western sky

Where a warm breeze blows and the ol' coyote's calling, calling

That's a cowboy lullaby

Another dusty day chasin' longhorn strays

Seems like it never ends

Is there a shady tree for my pony and me

Waitin' around the bend

When I'm too old for ropin' cattle, I don't want to linger

Rockin' on the front porch all my days

Lift me up into the saddle, slip the reins into my fingers

My trusty Hermanito knows the way

To lay me down when night is falling

'Neath the starry blanket of a western sky

Where a warm breeze blows and the ol' coyote's calling, calling

That's a cowboy lullaby

Where a warm breeze blows and the ol' coyote's calling, calling

That's a cowboy lullaby
