Iuka |
| I’d never tell a man to ask my Daddy for my hand |
| I’ve got a thousand tales about the temper of that man |
| He’d shoot a man who came within a mile of my young frame |
| But I know that you will take the risk so I can take your name |
| You’ve got the ring; |
| I’ve got the keys and sixty miles a head |
| Iuka, Mississippi, where the two of us will wed |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi 'fore he knows the two of us have up and gone |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi we can run away and never come home |
| Never come home |
| My daddy finally knocked a little sense right into me |
| So I asked around until I found the Justice of the Peace |
| The bruises on my body can’t be hidden anymore |
| So park your car upon the hill, I’m headed out the door |
| Step easy so my daddy doesn’t hear us sneak away |
| Hang around, he’ll shoot you down, that’s why we just can’t stay |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi 'fore he knows the two of us have up and gone |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi we can run away and never come home |
| Follow close behind me, not much further now |
| Oh, it’s just a shadow, I didn’t hear a sound |
| Ain’t no way he heard us, ain’t no way he’ll come |
| I hear someone breathing, hold my hand and run |
| Somewhere in the river there’s a gun the devil owned |
| Somehow everybody knew that everything was wrong |
| A noose up in the maple tree; |
| the old man’s gonna pay |
| Two headstones for two lovers who finally got away |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi 'fore he knows the two of us have up and gone |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi we can run away and never come home |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi 'fore he knows the two of us have up and gone |
| Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi we can run away and never come home |
| Never come home |
| Never come home |
| Never come home |
