Just back from vacation. I see there's work to be done. Here you go, Gary........TigerPRAIRIE LULLABY
Words by George Brown*, music by Jimmie Rodgers
As recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, 1932. (Victor 23781)[a] Shadows slowly creeping
Down the prairie's trail,
Ev'rything is sleeping
All but the nightingale.
Moon will soon be climbing
In the purple sky,
Night wind softly humming
This tender lullaby.[b] Cares of the day have fled,
My little sleepyhead.
The stars are in the sky.
Time that your prayers were said,
My little ol' 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,
Little ol' sleepyhead,
To a prairie lullaby.YODEL
REPEAT [b] AND YODEL.
