"Cottonwood Lullaby" lyrics - BOB WEIR

When the daylight is leaving
The work is nearly done
In the quiet of the evening
There was a song

[Chorus:]
Goodnight all you cowboys
Build your plans smart enough
But the angels appeared one time
To folks such as us

And goodnight to all you cowgirls
Until we next all meet
You will sweeten our memories
And dreams while we sleep
And goodnight, wild Wyoming
If that's still where we are
But if we've wandered into heaven
Well, Jackson Hole's just not that far

Goodnight, the daylight's stealing
All your gold from the sky
You're a poor leaf, you're leaving
All your diamonds behind
You're a gold leaf, you're leaving
All your diamonds behind

[Chorus 2x]

Such as us
