Dixie Lullabye

Gather round me people, got a song to sing

'Bout that sweet magnolia thyme

Blackeyed 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

To 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 said, "Dixie Lullaby."

So now you know the story of my southern home

With a honeysuckle vine

Anytime you think that you might come yourself

You ought to keep this thought in mind

All you easy riders better watch you step

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

Oh, it's aDixie Lullaby, bye bye
