Shadows slowly creeping
Down the prairie trail
Everything is sleeping
Ah, but the nightingale
Moon will soon be climbin'
In the purple sky
Night winds all a-humming
This tender lullaby
Cares of the day have fled
My little sleepyhead
Stars are in the sky
Time that the prayers were said
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
Saddle up your pony
Sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
De-do-de-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee, do-lay-ee
Saddle up your pony
Sandman's here
To guide you down the trail of dreams
Tumble in bed my tired
My little sleepyhead
To a prairie lullaby
De-do-de-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
Ay-ho-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee-oh, do-lay-ee
