Mississippi Way lyrics

Way down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Took my guitar and I took my trunk and it was on a Friday

Jumped in to my car and gave it a hunk and went down the highway

Twenty dollars in my pocket, had to fill up my car

Went down south where the weather is fine, where the sun shining down hot

Way down the Mississippi way

Way down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Sold my car in a little town by the side of the river

The car was good and I needed the cash but I just had to leave her

Saw the smoke from the steamboat engine

As I raged for the river

Her was where I was dreaming to go through the long lonely winter

Way down the Mississippi way

Way down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Black folks, white folks, yellow folks, red folks going on the river

Young folks, old folks, bad folks, good folks going on the river

There no was no fights no ramps when you're going on the river

Way down the Mississippi way

Way down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Way down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way

Down the Mississippi way....
