Little Cowboy's Lullaby (Gay Lea Thomas)

As long as the morning kisses the dew
And evening skies turn purple and blue
As long as birds return in spring
And once again the whippoorwill sings
As long as you hear this sweet little tune
That tells of bedtime coming soon
I'll always love you, my sweet buckaroo
Lullaby lu

Lullaby lu
Lullaby lu
I'll always love you, my sweet buckaroo
Lullaby lu

As long as little cowboys play
Out on the range 'til close of day
As long as the moon comes up each night
And heaven is filled with starry light
As long as the sandman sprinkles sand
In sleepy eyes all over the land
I'll always love you, my sweet buckaroo
Lullaby lu

Lullaby lu
Lullaby lu
I'll always love you, my sweet buckaroo
Lullaby lu

As long as the sun sets in the west
And sleepy cowboys take their rest
Underneath the stars at night
Beside a campfire burning bright
As long as forever and a day
As you sleep and as you play
I'll always love you, my sweet buckaroo
Lullaby lu

Lullaby lu
Lullaby lu
I'll always love you, my sweet buckaroo
Lullaby lu
