Lost and Found

i wanna 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 hummingbird hummin',
tie me to the rocks on the mountian my savior made

lie to me
sing me a song
sing me a song until the morning comes
and if the morning come
will you lie to me
will you take to your bed will you lay me down
'till i'm heavy like the rocks of the river bed that my savior made for us

i wanna be the blue bird singing singing to the roses in her yard
the roses in her yard her father grew for her
its been raining like a tennessee honey so long i got too heavy to fly
but there aint no bluebird ever get to heavy to sing

lie to me
sing me a song
sing me song until the morning comes
and if the morning don't come
will you lie to me
will you take to your bed will you lay me down
till i'm heavy like the rocks in the river bed that my savior made for us
please

we burned the cotton feilds down in the valley and ended up with nothin' but scars
the scars became the lessons that we gave to our children, after the war
there ain't nothing but the truth of a 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 river bed that my savior made for us
please
for us, for me
