Lyrics
Mississippi river girl
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.
She would sit alone by the bank
Always coming home so late
She'd take off all her clothes and jump 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
