Lyrics
A Cowboy's Lullaby by Glenn Warren and Worley Max McKinney
That old red sun...has slipped...behind the purple hills again;
The tumbleweeds are bedded down...with the layin' of the wind;
The yellow prairie moon is slowly climbing up the sky;
A cowboy plays his old guitar by the dying campfire light...
Chorus: Oo..oo...oo...yippie yay ki yo...
Hear the cowboy singin' to the cattle soft and low;
Oo...oo...oo...yippie yay ki yi...
Listen little buckaroo...to A Cowboy's Lullaby.
Your dad will teach you all the things a cowboy needs to know;
To cinch a sadfle...Throw a steer..But first, you've gotta grow;
The day you hit that dusty trail is closer than it seems...
Tonight, you'll get to rope and ride...but only in your dreams.
Chorus: Oo..oo...oo...yippie yay ki yo...
Hear the cowboy singin' to the cattle soft and low;
Oo...oo...oo...yippie yay ki yi...
Listen little buckaroo...to A Cowboy's Lullaby.
