Little fellow you're so tired

You can hardly lift your head

But you wanna hear a story

Before you go to bed

So if you'll be quiet

And listen patiently

I'll sing you a song

That my mother sang to me



Little cowboy, put your saddle in the barn

Tie your horse up tight, so he'll know no harm

Put your hat and your gun

Beside you on the chair

Don't forget, you've got to say a little prayer

Little cowboy, you'd better hit the sandman trail

Or you'll be late for roundup time you know

If you wanna be a cowboy, you'd better rest a while

Little cowboy baby of the old corral

Little cowboy baby of the old corral
