Prairie Lullaby written by Billy Hill Shadows slowly creeping down the prairie trail Everything is sleeping - ah, but the nightingale Moon will soon be climbing in the purple sky Night winds all a-humming this tender lullaby. Cares of the day have fled My little sleepyhead Stars are in the sky Time that the prayers were said My little sleepyhead To a prairie lullaby Saddle up your pony Sandman's here To guide you down the trail of dreams Tumble in bed my tired My little sleepyhead, To a prairie lullaby Saddle up your pony Sandman's here To guide you down the trail of dreams Tumble in bed my tired My little sleepyhead To a prairie lullaby |

The WMA Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame credit Billy Hill with the song, as do most covers (Doc Watson, etc.). It is best known through the recording by Jimmie Rodgers, although Doc Watson did a better job (Probably Jimmie Rodgers should be credited with the yodel). In the Jimmie Rodgers discography: BS73325-2, April 7, 1933, credited to Jimmie Rodgers, George Brown and Billy Hill. This thread should be combined with thread 20322: Prairie Lullaby See posts by Stewie, Tiger, and others. |

I never knew about the rest of it until you mentioned it and sang it for me. I still love it so much and sing it to my grandson. Thanks a bunch, kat |
