Reba McEntire - Muddy Mississippi lyrics

Your rating:

Chorus:

I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy Mississippi

But I can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me

The morning sun would find me

Swinging from the rope that's hanging free

And I drop in to the waters

And go swimming in the muddy Mississippi



A boy came to the Delta

And we would swing together from that tree

I could see my dreams in his eyes

As he held on to me

Swinging in the sunlight

Loving in the shadows

Wild and free

And I made him promise he would take me

Down to New Orleans



Bright lights of the city made my red dress and shoes look brand new

While he worked the night shift

I turned on and I turned loose

I lost my pride I lost my man

I did things a girl like me shouldn't do



Now I can't face this living

With the swelling signs of new life

Showing through



I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy Mississippi 

But I can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me

The morning sun would find me

Hanging from the rope that's swinging free

And I'll swing for the last time over the waters

Of the muddy Mississippi



Yeah the muddy Mississippi
