Lyrics
Velvet Ditch
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.
Forever stuck in Mississippi
Cause Mississippi's stuck in me
I don't want no other cities
Just magnolia trees
If you please
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make, no never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
Till the end of time
It'll be just fine
Want to float on down the river
On a cloud of cotton dreams
Pour some drink for Mr. Junior
Juke all night for free and never leave
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make, no never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
Till the end of time
It'll be just fine
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make, no never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
Till the end of time
It'll be just fine
