Prairie Lullaby Lyrics

PRAIRIE LULLABY - originally by Jimmie Rodgers I think, but I love Eliza's version.
Shadows slowly creeping
Down the prairie's trail,
Everything is sleeping
All but the nightingale.
Moon will soon be climbing
In the purple sky,
Night wind softly humming
This tender lullaby.
Cares of the day have fled,
My little sleepyhead.
The stars are in the sky.
Time that your prayers were said,
My little sleepyhead.
To a prairie lullaby.
Saddle up your pony.
The sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams.
Tumble in bed, my child,
You old sleepyhead,
To a prairie lullaby.
