Prairie Lullaby by Laura Veirs Lyrics

Shadows slowly creeping
Down the prairie 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
Cares of the day have fled
My little sleepyhead
The stars are in the sky
Time that the prayers were said
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
Saddle up your pony
The sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
Cares of the day have fled
My little sleepyhead
The stars are in the sky
Time that the prayers were said
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
Saddle up your pony
The sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
