Moonlight Mississippi |
| Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town |
| They take in the sidewalks when the sun goes down |
| It’s slow as molasses that drips from a can |
| But Moonlight, Mississippi is the promised land |
| With their deep south talking that’s so pleasant to hear |
| Like corn on the cob it’s mighty sweet on the ear |
| There’s just seven houses and one yellow hound |
| For Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town |
| Down round the levy where magnolias bloom |
| I’ve never seen such a sight in my life |
| The air gets so heavy with sweet perfume |
| You can cut it up with a knife |
| At night on each plantation cottom gleems so darn white |
| Stars go on vacation, folks don’t need a light |
| The trains don’t stop at Moonlight unless they’re flagged down |
| For Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town |
| You’re gonna love my old whistle-stop town |
