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
