Cottonwood Lullaby

[Verse 1]

When the daylight is leaving

The work is nearly done

In the quiet of the evening

There is a song

[Chorus]

Goodnight all you cowboys

Well, you're plain-spun and rough

But the angels appeared one time

To folks such as us

[Verse 2]

And goodnight to all you cowgirls

Until we next all meet

You will sweeten our memories

And dreams while we sleep

And goodnight, wide Wyoming

If that's still where we are

But if we've wandered into heaven

Well, Jackson Hole's just not that far

[Bridge]

Oh night, the daylight's stealing

All your gold from the sky

You're a poor thief, you're leaving

All your diamonds behind

You're a poor thief, you're leaving

All your diamonds behind

[Chorus]

Goodnight all you cowboys

We've got treasure enough

'Cause the angels appeared one time

To those such as us

[Chorus]

Goodnight all you cowboys

Though you're plain-spun and rough

'Cause the angels appeared one time

To folks such as us

Such as us
