about

06-SWEET BABY JAMES (James Taylor)

"The song was written by James Taylor for the son of his older brother Alex, who was also named James (and indeed was named after him). Deliberately a cross between a cowboy song and a lullaby, it was first thought up by Taylor as he was driving through Carolina to meet his infant nephew for the first time".

lyrics

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear

So goodnight you moon light ladies
And rock-a-bye my sweet baby James
The deep greens and blues are the colours I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock-a-bye my sweet baby James

Now the first of December was covered with snow
Yes, and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Well, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
There's a song that they sing when they take to the Highway

A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing seems to works fine for me

So, goodnight you moon light ladies
And rock-a-bye my sweet baby James
The deep greens and blues are the colours I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rock-a-bye my sweet baby James
