Mississippi King

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Float into the flame like a river bo gypsy

Gather 'round the river cause I'm gonna set you all free

Do what I'll say and you'll have all the power

Make the suckers dance and charge 'em by the hour

Snappin the clocks when you do that thing

So Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

You were the queen of a second horse town

All of his buddies can't be rodeo clowns

Linin 'em with sugar till the river runs bone dry

Servin up the fantasies unlimited supply

Snappin the clocks when you do that thing

So Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

I know you've been bruised by losers lovers liars

Set the tables long baby labor lives no longer

Spend all your life and you'll wish it were flowers

Your pimples full of petals can't back up those hours

Snappin the clocks when you do that thing

So Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send

now you're gonna send for your medicine
