Текст Leon Russell — Dixie Lullaby

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

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 He’s got a

Dixie lullaby Ohh, it’s a Dixie lullaby, bye
