Muddy Mississippi |
| I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy mississippi |
| But i can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me The morning sun would find me Swinging from the rope that’s hanging free |
| And i drop in to the waters |
| And go swimming in the muddy mississippi |
| A boy came to the delta |
| And we would swing together from that tree |
| I could see my dreams in his eyes |
| As he held on to me |
| Swinging in the sunlight |
| Loving in the shadows |
| Wild and free |
| And i made him promise he would take me Down to new orleans |
| Bright lights of the city made my red dress and shoes look brand new |
| While he worked the night shift |
| I turned on and i turned loose |
| I lost my pride i lost my man |
| I did things a girl like me shouldn’t do Now i can’t face this living |
| With the swelling signs of new life |
| Showing through |
| I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy mississippi |
| But i can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me The morning sun would find me Hanging from the rope that’s swinging free |
| And i’ll swing for the last time over the waters |
| Of the muddy mississippi |
| Yeah the muddy mississippi |
