Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver - Mississippi River Let You Water Flow lyrics

rate me

<br>

It's been a long time 'comin<br>

But I'm finally on my way<br>

14 years at Edyville's a might price to pay<br>

Once your week away from home's turned into all these years<br>

One regret, One broken heart was taunted into tears.<br>

<br>

Mississippi River let your waters flow<br>

Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico<br>

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun<br>

Smell the sweet Magnolia<br>

When the day is done.<br>

<br>

Oh rivers when I look at you<br>

I think of time I've lost<br>

Sittin' in a dirty cell I've had to pay the cost<br>

For a life of crime I chose a prize I can not win<br>

When I get to Louisiana I'll never leave again.<br>

<br>

Mississippi River let your waters flow<br>

Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico<br>

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun<br>

Smell the sweet Magnolia<br>

When the day is done.<br>

<br>

Mississippi River let your waters flow<br>

Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico<br>

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun<br>

Smell the sweet Magnolia<br>

When the day is done.<br>

<br>

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun<br>

Smell the sweet Magnolia<br>

When the day is done. <br>

<br>
