She would sit alone by the bank
|
Always coming home so late
|
She¡¯d take off all her clothes and jjmp in
|
I¡¯d be giving up man if she¡¯d be giving in
|
Baby let me dry your hair
|
I got some clothes that you can wear
|
Over there on the bed
|
And I¡¯d always forgive her, but the
|
Mississippi
|
River never did
|
|
She¡¯d sit out on the dock and put her feet in
|
She was skipping rocks and she was skipping
|
School again
|
She stole my only cigarettes, she smoked the
|
whole pack one by one, light em up and
|
Put em to her lips
|
And I¡¯d always forgive her but the Mississippi
|
river never did
|
|
She was always running away
|
No matter how hard I tried, she would
|
never stay, and I wish that she would run
|
to me
|
Like the Mississippi river, is running
|
towards the sea,
|
and now my poor heart is on the mend,
|
And I¡¯ll always be with her, because the
|
Mississippi river never ends
|
I¡¯ll always be with her because the Mississippi river never ends
|
