I want to go to Magnolia Mountain And lay my weary head down Down on the rocks On the mountain my savior made Steady my soul and ease my worry Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin' Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made Lie to me Sing me a song Sing me a song until the morning comes If the morning comes, will you lie to me Will you take me to your bed Will you lay me down Till I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed That my savior made I want to be the bluebird singing Singing to the roses in her yard The roses in her yard her father grew for her It's been raining that Tennessee honey So long I got too heavy to fly Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing Lie to me Sing me a song Sing me a song until the morning comes And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me Will you take me to your bed Will you lay me down Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed That my savior made We burned the cotton fields down in the valley And ended up with nothing but scars The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war But there ain't nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain Where nobody ever dies Steady your soul and ease your worry They got a room for you Lie to me like I lie to you Calm me down until the morning comes And if the morning don't come Lie to me Will you take me to your bed Will you lay me down All heavy like the rocks in the riverbed That my savior made For us
