PRAIRIE LULLABY
As recorded by Stephanie Davis on "River of No Return" (1997)1. When shadows streak across the hills
And purple streaks the sky
And cattle bunch up closer for the night
That's when you'll hear the whippoorwill
Start singin' sweet and high
That's when you'll hear the prairie lullabyCHORUS: The breezes play, the branches sway
Somewhere a coyote cries
Eye dee oh lay ee (yodel)
It's the prairie lullaby2. When later on the still is gone
And the campfire fights the dark
When a million stars are twinklin' in the sky
That's when you'll see a cowboy reachin' for his old mouth harp
That's when you'll hear the prairie lullabyCHORUS TWICE
This is a Stephanie Davis song. She's a ranch woman from Montana who plays the fiddle in the Garth Brooks band and is a very talented singer/songwriter who has released at least 2 CD's that I'm aware of.
