I wanna go to Magnolia Mountain

And lay my weary head down

Down on the rocks

Of 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 of the mountain my savior made



Lie to me

Sing me a song

Sing me a song until the morning comes

If the morning come, will you lie to me

Will you take me to your bed

Will you lay me down

Til' I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed

That my savior made



I wanna be the bluebird singing

Singing to the roses in her yard

Roses in her yard her father grew for her

It's been raining like 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

Ti'l I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed

That my savior made

. . . please



We burn the cotton fields down in the valley

And ended up with nothing but scars

Scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war

There ain't nothing but the [truth/tunes] of Magnolia Mountain

Where nobody ever dies

Steady your soul and ease your worry

They got room



Lie to me like I lie to you

Hold me down 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

Ti'l I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed

That my savior made

. . . please
