《Dixie Lullaby》歌词

[00:00:01] Dixie Lullaby - Rustic Rousers

[00:00:01] Written by：Davis Russell Patrick/Green Pat/Pollard Justin

[00:00:13] My father had skin like leather

[00:00:18] Hands like steel

[00:00:20] From a lifetime spent

[00:00:22] In the cotton fields

[00:00:26] Though he'd come home tired and dirty

[00:00:29] Almost every night

[00:00:33] He found the strength to smile at me

[00:00:36] And hold my mama tight

[00:00:39] While that old transistor radio

[00:00:42] Would play the Opry out in the hall

[00:00:45] I'd sit and watch their shadows

[00:00:47] Glide across the wall

[00:00:50] And they'd dance to a Dixie lullaby

[00:00:56] A picture of love beneath the southern sky

[00:01:03] Oh my what a beautiful life

[00:01:09] Just like a Dixie lullaby

[00:01:16] I left home at 18

[00:01:20] In a hand me down Chevrolet

[00:01:23] Packed my mamas goodness

[00:01:26] My old mans stubborn ways

[00:01:29] It was college work and love

[00:01:33] Then the babies came

[00:01:36] The youngest one got

[00:01:37] His granddaddy's name

[00:01:42] And in the early morning hours

[00:01:45] When my children could not sleep

[00:01:48] I'd rock them in my arms

[00:01:51] To a jimmy beat

[00:01:53] I'd sing them a Dixie lullaby

[00:02:00] Hush baby don't you start to cry

[00:02:06] Oh my what a beautiful life

[00:02:12] Just like a Dixie lullaby

[00:02:32] My father was a mountain of a man

[00:02:35] That was the description that I gave

[00:02:39] The morning that we laid him in his grave

[00:02:45] There with my mama by his side

[00:02:49] We said our last goodbye

[00:02:52] To a man we thought would never die

[00:02:58] As I stood there in the fields of amazing grace

[00:03:04] Oh how the tears ran down my face

[00:03:09] And I sang him a Dixie lullaby

[00:03:15] We'll meet again by and by

[00:03:22] Oh my what a beautiful life

[00:03:28] Just like a Dixie lullaby

[00:03:34] Oh my what a beautiful life

[00:03:41] Just like a Dixie lullaby
