Thread Name: Lyr Add: Roundup Lullaby (Badger Clark)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Cowboy Lullaby
I used to sing this at camp, and now that I see the "correct" lyrics, I have lots of questions about what some of it means.   

1) "tammalalleday" -- I used to sing "amallaholiday," and always thought of it as meaning "tomorrow's a holiday." Is that right?

2) Nothing on the hazy range that you folks need,
   Nothing we can see to take your eye.
   Yet we got to watch you or you'd all stampede,
   Plungin' down some royo bank to die.

   In the fist line, he says "you folks." Is he talking to the cows? He is in the rest of the verse.

That's all I'm asking for now. I want to see if anyone answers this!
