Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shadows slowly creeping
Down the prairie's 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Saddle up your pony
The sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
Little ol' sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Saddle up your pony
The sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
Little ol' sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
