Dixie Lullaby
Pat Green
Key of G
Intro: G, C5, AM7,  Gx 2
GMy father had skin like leather
Chands like steel
AM7from a lifetime spent in the cotton fieldsD  
Gthough he’d come home tired and dirty
Calmost every night
AM7he found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tightD  
Cwhile that old transistor radio would play the Opry out in the hallD  
Cid sit and watch their shadows glide across thDe wall
and they’d dance to a Dixie lullabyC  G  
picture of love bCeneath the southern skyG  
oh my what a Fbeautiful lifeC  
just like a Dixie AM7lullabyG  
i left home at 18
in a hand me down Chevrolet
packed my mamas goodness and my old mans stubborn ways
it was college, work, and love
then the babies came
the youngest ones got his granddaddy’s name
and in the early morning hours when my children could not sleep.
I’d rock them in my arms to a simple beat
and id 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 that we laid him in his grave
there with my mama by his side, we said our last goodbye
to a man we thought would never die
as I stood there in the fields of amazing grace
oh how the tears ran down my face.
and i sang him a Dixie lullaby
well meet again, by and by
oh my what a beautiful life
just like a Dixie lullaby
oh my what a beautiful life
just like a Dixie lullaby

he found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tight

just like a Dixie lullaby

i left home at 18

in a hand me down Chevrolet

packed my mamas goodness and my old mans stubborn ways

it was college, work, and love

then the babies came

the youngest ones got his granddaddy’s name

and in the early morning hours when my children could not sleep.

I’d rock them in my arms to a simple beat

and id 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 that we laid him in his grave

there with my mama by his side, we said our last goodbye

to a man we thought would never die

as I stood there in the fields of amazing grace

oh how the tears ran down my face.

and i sang him a Dixie lullaby

well meet again, by and by

oh my what a beautiful life

just like a Dixie lullaby

oh my what a beautiful life

just like a Dixie lullaby
