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

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

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
