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
