Prairie Lullabye - Don Edwards

When shadows creep across the hills

And purple streaks the sky

When cattle bunch up closer for the night…

That’s when you hear the whipoorwill

Start singing sweet and high

That’s when you hear the prairie lullaby

The breezes play, the branches sway

Somewhere a coyote cries

Ah ee oh loh di, it’s a prairie lullaby

When later on the sun is gone

The campfire fights the dark

Snd a million stars are twinkling in the sky

That’s when you see a cowboy reach

For his old mouth harp

That’s when you’ll hear the prairie lullaby

The breezes play the branches sway

And somewhere a coyote cries

Ah ee oh lodi, it’s a prairie lullaby

Ah ee oh loh di, it’s a prairie lullaby
