Magnolia Mountain Songtext

von Ryan Adams

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 humming
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
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 the yard
The roses in the yard her father grew for her
But it's been raining that Tennessee honey so long
I got too heavy to fly
But ain't no bluebird ever get to heavy to sing
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
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 on 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 lesson
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
Sing me a song until the morning comes
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down all heavy like the rocks
On a riverbed that my savior made
For us
