"Sweet Baby James" James Taylor cover

Cowboys are *so* cool! ^_^

"Sweet Baby James"
(by James Taylor)

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but its clear
As if maybe someone could hear

(chorus)
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby James

Now the first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Lord, the Berkshires seem dream-like on account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
The singin' works just fine for me

(chorus)

[tom2002a]

Huh?

[LTandDS]

Wow Tom. Stalk much? Pathetic. Pretty funny stuff too....."lay off the hooch". You can bust a gut with that one.

[tom2002a]

LT/DS - what did you say? Dumbest comment on you tube ?- you nailed it with your post here. Look in the mirror and lay off the hooch.

[LTandDS]

LOL.....you nailed it. Thanks for the laugh.

[UTubeWatcha]

It's hard to tell what chords he's using, but they don't look like the ones JT uses.

sitting on a toilet constipated is no fun. take some laxative, get rid of the hat, wear a different shirt. learn how to sing and you

gonna feel alright.
