Song Description

Riding the range can be tough and for little pay...maybe the cowboy's dream about a woman at night who they can settle down with.

Lyrics

"Oh Suzanna, oh don't you cry for me,
Cuz I come from Alabama with
My banjo on my knee"

Too many cowboys out on the lone prairie
Too many hearts under open skies
What do they do when the fire has all run out
And the doggie stories all run dry,
Maybe they think of "Ol' Suzanna"
And a place they can call their own
I'll just sing them a Cowboy's Lullabye

Sweet dreams, my cowboy
Sweet dreams, My bovine guy
Yo de lay hee hee
Yo de lay hee ee
Yo de lay
My bovine guy

REPEAT

So put your saddle down on the rough old ground
And your bedroll you pray is dry.
Lay back, look up and see
The northern sky
And a tear in Ol' Suzanna's eye.
It's been a long time working'
For a what doesn't seem
like a whole lotta pay to me
Maybe you'll see Suzanna in your dreams
Maybe you'll see Suzanna in your dreams.
