~ Cowboy Lullaby ~

Desert silvery blue beneath the pale moonlight,
Coyotes yapping lazy on the hill
Sleepy winks of light along the far skyline
Time for millin' cattle to be still.

[chorus] So now the lightnin's far away, the coyotes nothin' skeery,
Just singing to his dearie.
Way, hay, tomalla halladay
So settle down you cattle 'til the mornin'

Nothin' out there on the plains that you folks need
Nothin' there that needs to catch your eye
Still you gotta watch them or they'll all stampede
Plunging down some royal bank to die.
[chorus]
