Lyrics

[Verse 1] Where the summer lasts forever And the nights you can't remember Stop bein' on occasion Become every night I'm missin' Annie, y'all Not the sufferin' she brought Lift that Mississippi ground, pour right over me [Chorus] Carry to me Vicksburg when I die Oh, and point my body to Louisiana 'Cause she's always on my mind And if tonight's the night that I go out I pray you get this letter, so they can take me back South Oh, Vicksburg, how sweet the South How sweet the South [Verse 2] This goddamn weather's in my blood Northern December, freeze my littlе arms, burn my skin But the bottle keeps you warm Can't feel the cold blackеd out on the floor now Can't feel the rain when you out of the storm, even only if it's for a while Help, mama, I was only a child, just afraid to die [Chorus] Carry to me Vicksburg when I die Oh, and point my body to Louisiana She's always on my mind And if tonight's the night that I go out I pray they find this letter, so they can take my ass back South Oh, Vicksburg, how sweet the South How sweet the South
