Prairie Lullabye

When shadows creep across the hills, and purple streaks the sky, when cattle bunch up closer for the night... That's when you hear the whipoorwill start singing sweet and high, That's when you hear the prairie lullaby. The breezes play, the branches sway somewhere a coyote cries, Ah ee oh loh di, it's a prairie lullaby. When later on the sun is gone The campfire fights the dark, Snd a million stars are twinkling in the sky That's when you see a cowboy reach for his old mouth harp That's when you'll hear the prairie lullaby The breezes play the branches sway and somewhere a coyote cries Ah ee oh lodi, it's a prairie lullaby Ah ee oh loh di, it's a prairie lullaby. --- Prairie Lullabye - Don Edwards
