Dixie Lullaby Lyrics - Leon Russell - Leon Russell

Gather round me people, got a song to sing 

About that sweet magnolia thyme 

The black eyed Susan made some catfish stew 

And papa brought some homemade wine 

Now, 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 that Dixie lullaby 

And blind Willie Time, he had a dime shoe shine 

Stand down on Beale Street 

And Willie would stop and 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" 

But Willie just smiled and he dropped his rag 

And sang a Dixie lullaby 

Now you heard the story of my southern home 

With a honeysuckle wine 

Anytime you think that you might come yourself 

You ought to keep this thought in mind
