Mississippi

Gonna float my boat down the Mississippi

Just to see how far I can go

And if I go down ain’t that a potty

She started taking water twenty years ago

Woman woman ain’t you the devil

Pulling me close with this knife in my back

It keeps getting harder to keep my head level

I’m gonna run this train off the tracks

I gotta get out of Witchitaw County

And set a fire to that old wood shed

Find out who done sent out a bounty

Somebody’s put a price on my head

Jesus Jesus please won’t you help me

I can’t keep living my life like this

Give me rain and give me forgiveness

Left this curse that I’m living with

Oh it’s my time to ride

Another day to live another day to die

Repeat
