Ray Bonneville Mississippi
(Chorus)
I said M - I double S a' mhhm
I, double P - I
I'd love to cross over, pretty mama
But the water's way too high
You see, it rained all night
Even harder than tonight or the night before
Big mud is a' rising this morning
Coming knockin' on my door
(Chorus)
(break)
Forget about your dirty dishes, pretty mama
Let her sister keep your head
Stand on your toes, baby brother
Don't bother to make your bed
(Chorus)
Cry, cry to me, pretty baby
Somebody's beautiful wife
A whole lot of dirty water comin' down
This river change your life
(Chorus 2x)
