Mississippi

Lyrics

Mississippi Music: Graham Guest & Moses Guest Words: Graham Guest I was sleeping with my head beneath the ground And I was deeply dreaming of slowly going down To be drowned My heart was beating, but my blood was running cold One more year of this mistreating of myself and I'll be old Before my time comes But I had no clue what to do I can't untie these old brown shoes I've been cast in stone and painted blue Beneath the Mississippi moon So I drove up the river about four hundred miles Where I wandered around, and in a very short while You know I found it there I said, I am here to deliver, this news it must get through I have brought myself to tell you I do not know what to do I was sleeping with my head beneath the ground And I was deeply dreaming of slowly going down To be drowned So I drove up the river about four hundred miles Where I wandered around, and in a very short while You know I found it there But I had no clue what to do I can't untie these old brown shoes I've been cast in stone and painted blue Beneath the Mississippi moon
