baby buffalo

Singer: james taylor

are you there? can you hear me? somewhere near me?

in the morning

long ago

had to hold you so close

had to never let go. time on the river sliding on by. hard to believe

wink of an eye. where'd you go

baby buffalo? what's become of old cotton eyed joe?

hold up

lying low

long gone come-a summertime snow. talk to your doctor

making her rounds. ninety-six tears

one thousand clowns. there they are

shining bright. true creation

pure delight. they go on

so do you. on and on

maybe me too. long ago baby buffalo

what's become of old cotton eyed joe?

hold up

lying low

long gone come-a summertime snow. hold on to now till you have to let go. easy through your fingers

ever so. i'm just guessing

i don't know. maybe it's a blessing

i sure hope so.
