Mississippi Water |
| A painted lady sings a lullaby |
| A raindrop falls from an empty sky |
| A steamboat’s lying on a river bed |
| The captain smiles and his eyes are red |
| Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me A lady’s riding bareback on a horse |
| I know that Babylon must be her course |
| An old man’s laughing at the dead of night |
| But I don’t care if he is black or white |
| Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me The summer heat burns the skin on my face |
| And the trees shimmer so in this quiet place |
| A bird up high sings a song that I know |
| And those sweet melodies fall down like snow |
| A crowd of people watch an empty stage |
| There’s no performers but still they stay |
| Moonlight dances on a slide trombone |
| The captain whistles as he wanders home |
| Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water |
| Mississippi water |
| Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me Mississippi water washing over me |
