| Sweet Baby James Lyrics Artist(Band):James Taylor
His horse and his cattle are his only companions He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons Just waiting for Summer, his pastures to change And as the moon rises he sits by his fire Thinking about women and glasses of beer And closing his eyes as the doggies retire He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear As if maybe someone could hear (Chorus) Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rockabye sweet baby James Now the first of December was covered with snow And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Though the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway A song that they sing when they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing works just fine for me - Chorus - So, Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rockabye sweet baby James If you find some error in Sweet Baby James Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Sweet Baby James Amazing song. | Reviewer: Kayleigh | 1/11/2008 The first time i heard this song, it was by a boy on youtube who did an amazing job of it. i prefer the version by him rather than the one by James Taylor, but it is still an amazing song. lyrics validation and vindication | Reviewer: vinnie | 1/4/2008 I love this song ...my wife loves this song...but I need help we have had an on going argument for years... in our original album...yes vinyl ! ( analog rules )the lyric in the last verse seems to be "...with ten miles TO-HIND me...and ten thousand more to go" NOT "...ten miles behind me..." now I have always argued that it IS to hind me ...based on the theory that it may have been an attempt by Mr Taylor , to sound "old fasioned" like the way the folks in this time period may have spoken... my wife...sometimes litteraly in tears ...says Im crazy and why cant I just admit Im wrong about this... as I say ...if I could ask James Taylor himself I would... but give a listen to that original album...first released version of the song...and tell me your opinion...who ever you may be. peace and respect, vinnie. Life, love, family and leaving | Reviewer: TOM OROURKE | 12/12/2007 I named my first born son Robert James, the 'James' is after James Taylor; the song was and always will be etched on my soul. My second son was given the name Blake Douglas. Both my sons are now grown men and have gone thier own separate ways as have thier Mother and I. I am a singer / songwriter myself and everytime i perform that song along with 'Fire and rain', the etching gets a little deeper. The pain never leaves. Peace Love Freedom TOM O'ROURKE Sweet Baby James to Sweet Baby Joaquin | Reviewer: Kierin | 11/18/2007 This song "SWEET BABY JAMES" reminds me of singing this song to my dear friend, Joaquin Dorado of Lansing who is moving to San Francisco, California. I want to write my own song like Sweet Baby James to my version Sweet Baby Joaquin. I'm dedicating my version " SWEET BABY JOAQUIN" to him and his parents Maria & Francisco.
