Barn Fulton County

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range His horse and his cattle are his only companions He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons

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 dogies retire He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear As if maybe someone could hear

Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams? And rockabye sweet baby James

Sweet Bay James   James Taylor  -

I created an Apple Music playlist of the songs. I know not everyone has Apple Music. I added youtube video in case you cannot hear the music playing in your head as I did.

Photos are mine or I credit the photographer most are found on Flickr. We need a re-working of the Internet and copyright laws. Creators need compensated, but we tossed that baby in the 1990s.
