Butterfly Lyrics
Saw you last night
Butterfly in full flight
The moon and stars delight to shine upon you still
Took a look around
Butterfly's old stomping ground
Barely made a sound
Left no stone unturned
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Sure hope the road and all her wicked friends never turn you in
You sang a sweet song
Butterfly we all sang along
You really turn it on
An old familiar melody
You were the one that flew
Butterfly almost had me too
Can't help but think of you
But that was yesterday
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Sure hope the road and all her wicked friends never turn you in
Saw you last night
Butterfly in full flight
The moon and stars delight to shine upon you still
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Fly on the wings
Sure hope the road and all her wicked friends never turn you in
Butterfly in full flight
The moon and stars delight to shine upon you still
Butterfly's old stomping ground
Barely made a sound
Left no stone unturned
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Sure hope the road and all her wicked friends never turn you in
Butterfly we all sang along
You really turn it on
An old familiar melody
Butterfly almost had me too
Can't help but think of you
But that was yesterday
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Sure hope the road and all her wicked friends never turn you in
Butterfly in full flight
The moon and stars delight to shine upon you still
Fly, butterfly, on the wings of wind
Fly on the wings
Sure hope the road and all her wicked friends never turn you in

I wonder if this song is about John Morris Rankin, Jimmy's brother who died. He was fiddler for the Rankin family and the second verse in particular makes me wonder if it is about him.
Yes i thought it was about a family member too, but i thought it was about Raylene.\nThe reason was it was a dream and suggests that tat person is passed,\nTalk about old stomping grounds.\nThese words sort of made me this that.\n\nYou sang a sweet song\nButterfly we all sang along\nYou really turn it on\nAn old familiar melody\n\nYou were the one that flew\nButterfly almost had me too\nCan\'t help but think of you\nBut that was yesterday\n\nRaylene was the song bird\nthe Song she sang we rise again ......\n\nLove the Rankins \nBeen to their concerts a couple of times.\n\nThey make every Cape Bretoner stand tall.\nBeautiful song Jimmy
