His horse and his cattle,
they're his only com panions
and he sleeps in the canyons
Yes, and as the moon rises,
Just thinking about women
he sings out a song which is soft
Rock -a -bye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock -a -bye my sweet baby James
Now the first of December
from Stockbridge to Boston
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike
on ac count of that frosting
and ten thousand more to go
There's a song that you sing
when you take to the high way,
a song that they sing when
of their home in the sky.
Just as singing worked fine for me
So goodnight, you moonlight ladies
Rock -a -bye, my sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock -a -bye my sweet baby jeans
