Dixie Lullaby - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]
My father had skin like leather[00:00:13]
Hands like steel[00:00:18]
From a lifetime spent[00:00:20]
In the cotton fields[00:00:22]
Though he'd come home tired and dirty[00:00:26]
Almost every night[00:00:29]
He found the strength to smile at me[00:00:33]
And hold my mama tight[00:00:36]
While that old transistor radio[00:00:38]
Would play the opry out in the hall[00:00:42]
I'd sit and watch their shadows[00:00:45]
Glide across the wall[00:00:47]
And they'd dance to a Dixie lullaby[00:00:50]
A picture of love beneath the southern sky[00:00:56]
Oh my what a beautiful life[00:01:03]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:01:09]
I left home at 18[00:01:16]
In a hand me down Chevrolet[00:01:20]
Packed my mamas goodness[00:01:23]
My old mans stubborn ways[00:01:26]
It was college work and love[00:01:30]
Then the babies came[00:01:33]
The youngest one got[00:01:36]
His granddaddy's name[00:01:38]
And in the early morning hours[00:01:42]
When my children could not sleep[00:01:45]
I'd rock them in my arms[00:01:49]
To a Jimmy beat[00:01:51]
I'd sing them a Dixie lullaby[00:01:53]
Hush baby don't you start to cry[00:02:00]
Oh my what a beautiful life[00:02:06]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:02:13]
My father was a mountain of a man[00:02:32]
That was the description that I gave[00:02:35]
The morning that we laid him in his grave[00:02:39]
There with my mama by his side we said our last goodbye[00:02:45]
To a man we thought would never die[00:02:52]
As I stood there in the fields of amazing grace[00:02:57]
Oh how the tears ran down my face[00:03:04]
And I sang him a Dixie lullaby[00:03:09]
We'll meet again by and by[00:03:15]
Oh my what a beautiful life[00:03:22]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:03:28]
Oh my what a beautiful life[00:03:34]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:03:41]
