Little fellow you're so tired
C B7
You can hardly lift your head
Dm A7
But you wanna hear a story
Dm7 G C
Before you go to bed
C B7
So if you'll be quiet
C A7
And listen patiently
D D7
I'll sing you a song
Dm7 G
That my mother sang to me
C D7
Little cowboy, put your saddle in the barn
G C
Tie your horse up tight, so he'll know no harm
F F7
Put your hat and your gun
C A7
Beside you on the chair
D7 G G7
Don't forget, you've got to say a little prayer
C D7
Little cowboy, you'd better hit the sandman trail
F F7 A7
Or you'll be late for roundup time you know
Fm F C A7
If you wanna be a cowboy, you'd better rest a while
D7 G C A7
Little cowboy baby of the old corral
Little cowboy baby of the old corral
