leon russell - dixie lullaby (live at the fillmore east/1970) lyrics

Loading...

gather round me people, got a song to sing
’bout that sweet magnolia time
black+eyed susan made some catfish stew
and papa brought some homemade wine

[chorus 1]
all the southern children like to rock’n roll
the tv mamas tell you why
they got it on the boat from africa
it’s a dixie lullaby

[verse 2]
blind willie thyme he had a dime shoe shine
stand down on beale street
and willie would stop and say h+llo
to all the shoes he’d meet

[chorus 2]
“why are you so happy?” said the clean white buck
“you got no reason to be happy mr. thyme”
but willie just smiled and willie popped his rag
and sang a dixie lullaby

[verse 3]
now you heard the story of my southern home
where the honeysuckle vines
any time you think that you might come yourself
you ought to keep this thought in mind

[chorus 3]
all you easy riders better watch your step
if you’re walkin’ down below the line
that louisiana man is gonna get you yet
with his dixie lullaby

[outro]
he’s got a dixie lullaby
oh, it’s a dixie lullaby+bye
