[Verse 1]
Gather round me people, got a song to sing
'Bout that sweet magnolia time
Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew
And papa brought some homemade wine
[Chorus 1]
All the southern children like to rock'n roll
The TV mamas tell you why
They got it on the boat from Africa
It's a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 2]
Blind Willie Thyme he had a dime shoe shine
Stand down on Beale Street
And Willie would stop and say hello
To all the shoes he'd meet
[Chorus 2]
"Why are you so happy?" said the clean white buck
"You got no reason to be happy Mr. Thyme"
But Willie just smiled and Willie popped his rag
And sang a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 3]
Now you heard the story of my Southern home
Where the honeysuckle vines
Any time you think that you might come yourself
You ought to keep this thought in mind
Gather round me people, got a song to sing
'Bout that sweet magnolia time
Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew
And papa brought some homemade wine
[Chorus 1]
All the southern children like to rock'n roll
The TV mamas tell you why
They got it on the boat from Africa
It's a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 2]
Blind Willie Thyme he had a dime shoe shine
Stand down on Beale Street
And Willie would stop and say hello
To all the shoes he'd meet
[Chorus 2]
"Why are you so happy?" said the clean white buck
"You got no reason to be happy Mr. Thyme"
But Willie just smiled and Willie popped his rag
And sang a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 3]
Now you heard the story of my Southern home
Where the honeysuckle vines
Any time you think that you might come yourself
You ought to keep this thought in mind
