Dixie Lullaby Lyrics - Black Clint

Clint Black & Bruce Hornsby 

(Leon Russell - Chris Stainton) 

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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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...
