|
I want to go to Magnolia Mountain |
|
And lay my weary head down |
|
Down on the rocks |
|
On the mountain my savior made |
|
Steady my soul and ease my worry |
|
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin' |
|
Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made |
|
Lie to me |
|
Sing me a song |
|
Sing me a song until the morning comes |
|
If the morning comes, will you lie to me |
|
Will you take me to your bed |
|
Will you lay me down |
|
Till I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed |
|
That my savior made |
|
I want to be the bluebird singing |
|
Singing to the roses in her yard |
|
The roses in her yard her father grew for her |
|
It's been raining that Tennessee honey |
|
So long I got too heavy to fly |
|
Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing |
|
Lie to me |
|
Sing me a song |
|
Sing me a song until the morning comes |
|
And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me |
|
Will you take me to your bed |
|
Will you lay me down |
|
Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed |
|
That my savior made |
|
We burned the cotton fields down in the valley |
|
And ended up with nothing but scars |
|
The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war |
|
But there ain't nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain |
|
Where nobody ever dies |
|
Steady your soul and ease your worry |
|
They got a room for you |
|
Lie to me like I lie to you |
|
Calm me down until the morning comes |
|
And if the morning don't come |
|
Lie to me |
|
Will you take me to your bed |
|
Will you lay me down |
|
All heavy like the rocks in the riverbed |
|
That my savior made |
|
For us |
