Five Horse Johnson - Mississippi King lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:<br />

Float into the flame like a river bo gypsy!<br />

<br />

Gather 'round the river cause I'm gonna set you all free<br />

<br />

Do what I'll say and you'll have all the power<br />

<br />

Make the suckers dance and charge 'em by the hour<br />

<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Snappin the clocks when you do that thing<br />

Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king<br />

<br />

Now you're gonna send<br />

Now you're gonna send<br />

Now you're gonna send for your medicine<br />

<br />

Now you're gonna send<br />

Now you're gonna send<br />

Now you're gonna send for your medicine<br />

<br />

Verse 2:<br />

You were the queen of a second horse town<br />

<br />

All of his buddies can't be rodeo clowns<br />

<br />

Linin 'em with sugar till the river runs bone dry<br />

<br />

Servin up the fantasies unlimited supply<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Now you're gonna send<br />

Now you're gonna send<br />

Now you're gonna send for your medicine<br />

<br />

Verse 3:<br />

I know you've been bruised by losers lovers liars<br />

<br />

Set the tables long baby labor lives no longer<br />

<br />

Spend all your life and you'll wish it were flowers<br />

<br />

Your pimples full of petals can't back up those hours<br />

<br />

Chorus
