It's twilight on the prairie and the moon will soon be high
she'll be hurting every star up in the sky
we'll lope along to dreamland and we'll bid each care goodbye
while the wind blows through the sagebrush with a sigh!
So hush ( So, hush! ) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
let my shoulder be your pillow, you'll be safe as you can be
little darlin' you mean all the world to me
we'll always be together and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just wait an' see
So hush ( So, hush! ) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
( we will always be together ) and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just you wait an' see
So hush, little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here . . .
