Why don't you gather round me people, got a song to sing
|
About that sweet magnolia thyme
|
Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew
|
And papa brought some homemade wine.
|
|
All you southern children like to rock'n roll
|
The TV mamas tell you why
|
They got it on the boat from Africa
|
It's that Dixie Lullaby.
|
|
Well, Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine
|
Stand down on Beale Street
|
And Willie would stop and just to say hello
|
All the shoes he'd meet.
|
|
Why are you so happy said the clean white buck
|
You got no reason to be happy Mr Time
|
And Willie would stop and just pop his rag
|
With a Dixie Lullaby.
|
|
[Instrumental]
|
|
So now you know the story of my southern home
|
With a honeysuckle wine
|
And if you ever think that you might come yourself
|
You ought to keep this thought in mind.
|
|
All you easy riders better watch you step
|
And if you're walkin' down below the line
|
That Louisiana man is gonna get you yet
|
With his Dixie Lullaby.
|
He's got a Dixie Lullaby.
|
He's got a Dixie Lullaby...
|
