Dixie Lullaby [In the Style of Pat Green [00:00:02]
My father had skin like leather[00:00:14]
Hands like steel[00:00:19]
From a lifetime spent[00:00:21]
In the cotton fields[00:00:23]
Though he'd come home tired and dirty[00:00:27]
Almost every night[00:00:30]
He found the strength to smile at me[00:00:34]
And hold my mama tight[00:00:37]
While that old transistor radio[00:00:40]
Would play the opry out in the hall[00:00:43]
I'd sit and watch their shadows[00:00:46]
Glide across the wall[00:00:48]
And they'd dance to a Dixie lullaby[00:00:51]
Picture of love beneath the southern sky[00:00:58]
Oh my what a beautiful life [00:01:04]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:01:10]
I left home at 18[00:01:17]
Hand me down Chevrolet[00:01:22]
Packed my mamas goodness[00:01:25]
My old mans stubborn ways[00:01:27]
It was college work and love[00:01:31]
Then the babies came[00:01:34]
The youngest one got[00:01:37]
His granddaddy's name[00:01:39]
And in the early morning hours[00:01:43]
When my children could not sleep[00:01:46]
I'd rock them in my arms[00:01:50]
To Jimmy beat[00:01:52]
I'd sing them a Dixie lullaby[00:01:54]
Hush baby don't you start to cry[00:02:01]
Oh my what a beautiful life [00:02:07]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:02:14]
My father was a mountain of a man[00:02:33]
That was the description that I gave[00:02:36]
The morning that we laid him in his grave[00:02:40]
There with my mama by his side [00:02:46]
Said our last goodbye[00:02:50]
To a man we thought would never die[00:02:53]
As I stood there in the fields of amazing grace[00:02:59]
Oh how the tears ran down my face[00:03:05]
And I sang him a Dixie lullaby[00:03:10]
We'll meet again by and by[00:03:17]
Oh my what a beautiful life [00:03:23]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:03:29]
Oh my what a beautiful life [00:03:35]
Just like a Dixie lullaby[00:03:42]
