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
