Mississippi Songtext
von The Secret Sisters

Mississippi Songtext

All my life, I ain′t ever been a lucky man
Saw the back of my daddy's hand
Lost your mama to the promised land

In my time, I ain′t ever had a thing that's mine
'Til they handed me a baby fine
My little girl

There are only two things I know
I get ugly when the whiskey flows
Wanted you to know I love you so
And I would kill before I let you go

Taking off for Mississippi
Wearing someone else′s name
Brought you in this world and I
Can take you from it just the same

If you leave for Mississippi
I will beat you at your game
Brought you in this world and I
Can take you from it just the same


My dear one
Heard you whispering your plans to run
Off to marry some rich man′s son
Bet he's never met a poor man′s gun

In the darkness you could not see
The drunken devil instructing me
Two bullets in a crimson sea
Now I'm certain that you′ll never be

Taking off for Mississippi
Wearing someone else's name
Brought you in this world and I
Can take you from it just the same

If you leave for Mississippi
I will beat you at your game
Brought you in this world and I
Can take you from it just the same

Grief and sin, when the righteousness of you sets in
And the blood in my veins begins to ramble on
Now I know we can stand and judge the execution man
But we all have to make a trembling stand before the sun


Maple tree, can your branches carry me?
Before the war, before the wine
Before I stole what wasn′t mine
Can you bring my baby back to me?
