Dixie Lullaby (其他)

Dixie Lullaby - Hit Crew Masters

My father had skin like leather

Hands like steel

From a lifetime spent

In the cotton fields

Though he'd come home tired and dirty

Almost every night

He found the strength to smile at me

And hold my mama tight

While that old transistor radio

Would play the opry out in the hall

I'd sit and watch their shadows

Glide across the wall

And they'd dance to a Dixie lullaby

A picture of love beneath the southern sky

Oh my what a beautiful life

Just like a Dixie lullaby

I left home at 18

In a hand me down Chevrolet

Packed my mamas goodness

My old mans stubborn ways

It was college work and love

Then the babies came

The youngest one got

His granddaddy's name

And in the early morning hours

When my children could not sleep

I'd rock them in my arms

To a Jimmy beat

I'd sing them a Dixie lullaby

Hush baby don't you start to cry

Oh my what a beautiful life

Just like a Dixie lullaby

My father was a mountain of a man

That was the description that I gave

The morning that we laid him in his grave

There with my mama by his side we said our last goodbye

To a man we thought would never die

As I stood there in the fields of amazing grace

Oh how the tears ran down my face

And I sang him a Dixie lullaby

We'll meet again by and by

Oh my what a beautiful life

Just like a Dixie lullaby

Oh my what a beautiful life

Just like a Dixie lullaby
