about

A lullaby written by Joe while living in Lancaster it includes a guest appearance on vocals by his aunt Marlene Boylan.

lyrics

Over in Wyoming a sweet little baby
Loves to sing as his daddy plays guitar
And he only sings along to the saddest songs
He howls out a tune as blue as his eyes

Up in Montana a grizzled old cowboy
Herds his cattle under the big sky
His fired brewed coffee that he drinks in the morning
He stares into the flame and thinks of a love that's gone by

Back home in Billings a sweet young lady
Thinks of the cowboy out on the range
A single salty teardrop rolls down her cheek
Cause since he's gone things have not been the same

Down in Nevada the outlaws are hiding
From the lawmen who'll chase them to their graves
Over by a bolder, the youngest lays wounded
Calls out to the Lord for his soul to be saved

They sing Hallelujah

In an Abilene barroom
A beauty named Margot kisses the lips of a boy not her own
But come morning, they'll sweep out the ashes
Because tonight they'll let their fires burn

Back in Wyoming the baby lays sleeping
As his father watches him snore
Drinking his cold beer, he can't wait til morning
For the baby to wake up and then they'll play some more

They'll sing Hallelujah
