mississippi moonlight - those folk lyrics
[verse 1]
my cup is empty
and the water is high
the mighty river
is rough and wild
well i’ve passed the time, lord
but i failed at love
big river send me
to the lord above
[verse 2]
they stole from me
my shining angel
her perfect body
down by the highway side
well i caught those rounders
and i gave ‘em h*ll
my price to pay
i’ll let the judge decide
[chorus]
mississippi moonlight
on judgement day
louisiana chain gang
my dues to pay
well i’ve crossed my heart, lord
and i pray to die
and now life stands still
beneath the full moon light
[instrumental]
[verse 3]
now mama don’t you cry
or go my bail
my watch and chain ma
are yours to keep
you taught me good things
i taught myself to fail
and i’ll love you still
in my eternal sleep
[verse 4]
ninety*nine years in the baton*rouge pen
i worked the dusty old highways
from end to end
would i change it all
to have my freedom?
well my freedom’s not there
since my darling’s gone
[chorus]
mississippi moonlight
on judgement day
louisiana chain gang
my dues to pay
well i’ve crossed my heart, lord
and i pray to die
and now life stands still
beneath the full moon light
