Lyrics
Gather ‘round me people, got a song to sing,
‘Bout that sweet magnolia time,
And black-eyed susan makes a catfish stew,
And papa brought some homemade wine,
And all the farmer children like to rock and roll
The T.V. mamas tell you why
We got it on the phone from Africa,
It's a Dixie lullaby

He smiled anytime he had a dime shoe shine
Stayin’ down on Basin Street
And Willie would stop and say hello
To all the shoes he'd meet.
"Why are you so happy?" said the three white bucks
"You got no reason to be happy, Mister Shine"
But Willie just smiled and Willie he slapped his rag
And sang a Dixie lullaby.

Now you heard the story of a southern home
With a honeysuckle vine
Anytime you think that you might come yourself
You ought to keep this all in mind
All you “Easy Riders” better watch your step
You're walkin' down below the line
That Louisiana man he’s gonna get you yet
With his Dixie lullaby.
