Mississippi |
| All my life, I ain't ever been a lucky man |
| Saw the back of my daddy's hand |
| Lost your mama to the promised land |
| In my time, I ain't ever had a thing that's mine |
| 'Til they handed me a baby fine |
| My little girl |
| There are only two things I know |
| I get ugly when the whiskey flows |
| Wanted you to know I love you so |
| And I would kill before I let you go |
| Taking off for Mississippi |
| Wearing someone else's name |
| Brought you in this world and I |
| Can take you from it just the same |
| If you leave for Mississippi |
| I will beat you at your game |
| Brought you in this world and I |
| Can take you from it just the same |
| My dear one |
| Heard you're whispering your plans to run |
| Off to marry some rich man's son |
| I bet he's never met a poor man's gun |
| In the darkness you could not see |
| The drunken devil instructing me |
| Two bullets in a crimson sea |
| Now I'm certain that you'll never be |
| Taking off for Mississippi |
| Wearing someone else's name |
| Brought you in this world and I |
| Can take you from it just the same |
| If you leave for Mississippi |
| I will beat you at your game |
| Brought you in this world and I |
| Can take you from it just the same |
| Grief and sin |
| When the righteousness of you sets in |
| And the blood in my veins begins to ramble on |
| Now I know we can stand and judge the execution man |
| But we all have to make a trembling stand before the sun |
| Maple tree |
| Can your branches carry me? |
| Before the war, before the wine |
| Before I stole what wasn't mine |
| Can you bring my baby back to me? |
