David Nail - Mississippi lyrics

rate me

I ain’t never seen the snowfall on the Delta

Like the one that’s gonna cover all of New York tonight

But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton

Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that’s a southern man’s field of white

Yeah, I turned my back and walked away

But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day

Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home

Back where I belong

So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen

Let the side wheels spin

‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when

All these years they played a trick on me

No, I ain’t the man I used to be

Tonight I feel like Mississippi

People round here, Lord they move in such a pace

I’m just another face, lost in the crowd

There’s a sweet sound being sung down in Dixie

Now and again it gets me when I get to feeling down

Yeah, I turned my back and walked away

But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day

Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home

Back where I belong

So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen

Let the side wheels spin

‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when

All these years they played a trick on me

No, I ain’t the man I used to be

Tonight I feel like Mississippi

All these years they played a trick on me

No, I ain’t the man I used to be

Tonight I feel like Mississippi

Tonight I feel like Mississippi
