FOLLOW ME BACK TO THE FOLD
(TRIBUTE TO MAYBELLE)
BY: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: HOW SHE LOVED THE OLD SONGS OF THE WILDWOOD
WHERE THE SWEETEST OF MELODIES GROW
AND ALTHO SHE'S NOT HERE STILL HER MESSAGE IS CLEAR
FOLLOW ME BACK TO THE FOLD

CHORUS: FOLLOW ME BACK TO THE FOLD
THRU THE MOUNTAINS ON OLD COUNTRY ROADS
COME ON BACK HOME AGAIN WHERE THE MUSIC BEGAN
FOLLOW ME BACK TO THE FOLD

VERSE 2: THERE'S A FACE IN THE MIST ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND A VOICE WHISPERS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
THRU THE HAUNTING PERFUME OF THE ROSES IN BLOOM
SHE'S CALLING HER CHILDREN BACK IN

VERSE 3: ONE BY ONE WE WILL WALK THRU THE VALLEY
WHERE NO SHADOW WILL DARKEN THE SOUL
WHEN OUR LIFE HERE IS DONE LET THE MUSIC GO ON
SINGING FOLLOW ME BACK TO THE FOLD

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4: WE DON'T NEED HER GOLD WATCH AND HER CHAIN, LORD
AND WE DON'T NEED HER LONG STRING OF PEARLS
WHEN YOU SEE MOTHER MAYBELLE ON HEAVEN'S BRIGHT SHORE
SAY HELLO FROM THE REST OF THE GIRLS

REPEAT CHORUS
