• Dixie Lullaby

My father had skin lke leather, hands like steel
From a lifetime spent in the cotton fields
Eventhough he'd come home tired and ditry almost every night
He found the strength to smile at me and hold my Mama tight
Whlie that old transister radio would play that 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 eighteen
In a hand me down Chevorlet
Packed my Mama's goodness
My old man's stubborn ways
It was college, work, and love then the babies came
the youngest one got his grandaddy's name
In the early morning hours when my children could not sleep
I'd rock them in my arms to a gentle beat

And 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 we laid him in his grave
There with my Mama by his side i said the last goodbyes
To a man we thought would never die
As I stood there in that field of amazing grace
Oh how the tears ran down my face

And I sang him a dixie lullaby
We'll meet again bye to bye
Oh my what a beautiful life
Just like a dixie lullaby

Oh my what a beautiful life
Just like a dixie lullaby.
