Mississippi Woman
Mississippi woman, with your long black hair
Gee, I really miss you, baby, and I wish that you were here
How you used to love me, woman, every lonely night
With your lips so tender baby, and your eyes so bright
Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know
Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child
Got into some trouble, down in Mexico
Robbed a man in San Juan, and I shot a guy called Joe
Now I'm being hunted and the law is on my trail
Next time I write you woman, I guess I'll be in jail
Mississippi Woman, try to understand
Please don't sit around and wait for this lonely man
Caught me in Kentucky, the judge gave me a dime
Bought a hacksaw from a trustee and I got away that time
Right now, I'm in Florida, on my way to Tennessee
Mississippi Woman, baby, save your love for me, child
Mississippi Woman, with your long black hair
Gee, I really miss you baby and I wish that you were here
Oh, how you used to love me woman, every lonely night
With your lips so tender baby, and your eyes so bright
Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know
Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Gee, I really miss you, baby, and I wish that you were here
How you used to love me, woman, every lonely night
With your lips so tender baby, and your eyes so bright
Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know
Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child
Got into some trouble, down in Mexico
Robbed a man in San Juan, and I shot a guy called Joe
Now I'm being hunted and the law is on my trail
Next time I write you woman, I guess I'll be in jail
Mississippi Woman, try to understand
Please don't sit around and wait for this lonely man
Caught me in Kentucky, the judge gave me a dime
Bought a hacksaw from a trustee and I got away that time
Right now, I'm in Florida, on my way to Tennessee
Mississippi Woman, baby, save your love for me, child
Mississippi Woman, with your long black hair
Gee, I really miss you baby and I wish that you were here
Oh, how you used to love me woman, every lonely night
With your lips so tender baby, and your eyes so bright
Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know
Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
Mississippi woman
