lirik lagu aunt mattie’s quilt – dixie chicks
[verse 1]
aunt mattie bent a thousand times down the long black rows
then battled with the angry weeds so little seeds could grow
come summer mattie pulled the snow from cruel and cutting bolls
she was patient pale and slender and was only eight years old
round and round the spinning wheel beneath aunt mattie’s boot
she recalled the soil and cotton seeds and summer’s hopeful shoots
two winters spun out summer’s threads in rich and creamy folds
and she had a bolt of cotton cloth when she turned ten years old
[chorus]
if we bend and plant the seeds and tame the wicked weeds
if we let the sun and rain -ssist and simplify our needs
if we follow in the barefoot path of one persistent girl
we’ll throw a healing quilt across an ever ailing world
[verse 2]
indigo and lavender made up aunt mattie’s sky
remembering her childhood days she made the rustic dye
the hour before the day would end it fed young mattie’s dream
she made indigo and lavender when she turned just fourteen
[chorus]
if we bend and plant the seeds and tame the wicked weeds
if we let the sun and rain -ssist and simplify our needs
if we follow in the barefoot path of one persistent girl
we’ll throw a healing quilt across an ever ailing world
[verse 3]
aunt mattie bends a thousand times down each patchwork row
piece by piece and st-tch by st-tch in fading candle glow
the valley of the shadow cannot call her from her seams
until finishing her lifetime’s work she dies at seventeen
[chorus]
if we bend and plant the seeds and tame the wicked weeds
if we let the sun and rain -ssist and simplify our needs
if we follow in the barefoot path of one persistent girl
we’ll throw a healing quilt across an ever ailing world
