The tab
4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
There is a young cow-boy he lives on the range
His horse and his cat-tle are his on-ly com-pan-ions
He works in the sad-dle and he sleeps in the can-yons
Wait-ing for Sum-mer, his pas-tures to change
And as the moon ri-ses he sits by his fire
Think-ing a-bout wo-men and glas-ses of beer
And clos-ing his eyes as the do-gies re-tire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if may-be some-one could hear
Good-night you moon-light la-dies
Rock-a-bye sweet ba-by James
Deep greens and blues are the col-ors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock-a-bye sweet ba-by James
