Lee The Weaver Lyrics

I knew a man
A kind and gentle man
With a bell and hammer in his hand
He rang it through the land
He rang out love
To all the people of the land
He took a stand
This strong and gentle man

I'm talkin' 'bout Lee the Weaver
Weaved all his life long
To weave right out of the wrong
To the end
Lee the Weaver
Weaved a patchwork of song
Always strong
And always a friend

He said he came
From somewhere down in Arkansas
But he never said where
I think he rode in
On an old train long ago
With Woody and Cisco
And Old Black Joe
Man, could he sing
I guess he was always at his best
Heaven-blessed
With a song
A song always in his head
A common thread With Pete and Ronnie and Fred

Lee the Weaver
Weaved all his life long
To weave right out of the wrong
To the end
Lee the Weaver
Weaved a patchwork of song
Always strong
And always a friend

Always standing straight and tall
With a voice ready to fill a hall
And that ain't all
About Lee the Weaver
He loved his garden and his yard
He worked his hands and worked 'em hard
In the land
This strong and gentle man

Lee the Weaver
Weaved all his life long
To weave right out of the wrong
To the end
Lee the Weaver
Weaved a patchwork of song
Always strong
And always a friend

Always strong
And always a friend
