Lyrics

Hey there mama come and sit on my windowsill
I'll be your Saint Francis, I'll be your whippoorwill
We'll sing together through the rolling glass
As your lover makes a nest that's built to last
These are the mornings of our past
And I will watch your babies born
Not from a branch or a white magnolia bloom
But a farmhouse second-floor corner room
With pieces old and new
Borrowed and blue
And daddy watched his father playing Irish top guitar
Him and Uncle Clint on the porch of a grocery store
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
He sang, "You get a line and I'll get a pole
Sugar babe"
Hey there cousin, won't you play dress up today?
Brother, slide down the stairs
For mama threw a wedding bouquet
Mama, did you line them up and watch them fall
With your.22 waist and deep south drawl?
Well, I bet you charmed them all
Hey there sister, won't you come sleep in my bed?
We'll pull up all the blankets tied 'round our heads
And please turn off the bedside table light
When I close my eyes and I'm sleeping tight
Don't want to stay up tonight
And we will wake up with the sun
And birds chirping from magnolia blooms
In our farmhouse second-floor corner room
With pieces old and new
Borrowed and blue
