Mississippi River Girl - Josh Kelley

She would sit alone by the bank

Always coming home so late

She’d take off all her clothes and jump in

I’d be giving up man if she’d be giving in

Baby let me dry your hair

I got some clothes that you can wear

Over there on the bed

And I’d always forgive her, but the

Mississippi

River never did

She’d sit out on the dock and put her feet in

She was skipping rocks and she was skipping

School again

She stole my only cigarettes, she smoked the

Whole pack one by one, light em up and

Put em to her lips

And I’d always forgive her but the Mississippi

River never did

She was always running away

No matter how hard I tried, she would

Never stay, and I wish that she would run

To me

Like the Mississippi river, is running

Towards the sea

And now my poor heart is on the mend

And I’ll always be with her, because the

Mississippi river never ends

I’ll always be with her because the Mississippi river never ends
