Dixie Lullabye

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.

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...
