Goodnight Lil' Cowboy Songtext
von The Waifs

There′s a saucepan full of hot chocolate
Up in the sky tonight
It don't matter how long I watch it
It don′t quench my appetite

There's a warm golden glow on the ocean
A stairway right up to the moon
I ain't reached it yet
All I get is wet
And I don′t think I′ll make it there soon


The campfire coals are a' glowin′
'Lectricity free bedside lamp
They wink at me as if they′re knowin'
Everything′s cosy in camp
There's a silhouette on the horizon
That looks like my old teddy bear
Gonna tether my nag
And climb in my swag
And dream of somebody somewhere

So long little cowboy (cowgirl)
It's time you were sleeping too
There′s a hundred ways to tell you how boy (girl)
Your mum and daddy love you

So come here - I′ll tell you a story
Gonna kiss you and tuck you in tight
With a big dose of love
And the good Lord above
Hey, I think you'll grow up alright.′
