Lyrics Laura Veirs

Laura Veirs

Prairie Lullaby

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

The stars are in the sky

Time that the prayers were said

My little sleepyhead

To a prairie lullaby

Saddle up your pony

The sandman's here

To guide you down the trail of dreams

Tumble in bed my tired

My little sleepyhead

To a prairie lullaby

Cares of the day have fled

My little sleepyhead

The stars are in the sky

Time that the prayers were said

My little sleepyhead

To a prairie lullaby

Saddle up your pony

The sandman's here

To guide you down the trail of dreams

Tumble in bed my tired

My little sleepyhead

To a prairie lullaby
