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 |
|
And sing a Dixie Lullaby. |
|
--- Instrumental --- |
|
So now you know the story of my southern home |
|
With a honeysuckle wine |
|
And anytime you 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... |
