Mississippi Water Lyrics - Singles - Breathe

A painted lady sings a lullaby 

A raindrop falls from an empty sky 

A steamboat's lying on a river bed 

The captain smiles and his eyes are red 

Mississippi water washing over me 

Mississippi water washing over me 

A lady's riding bareback on a horse 

I know that Babylon must be her course 

An old man's laughing at the dead of night 

But I don't care if he is black or white

Mississippi water washing over me 

Mississippi water washing over me 

The summer heat burns the skin on my face 

And the trees shimmer so in this quiet place 

A bird up high sings a song that I know 

And those sweet melodies fall down like snow 

A crowd of people watch an empty stage 

There's no performers but still they stay 

Moonlight dances on a slide trombone 

The captain whistles as he wanders home 

Mississippi water washing over me 

Mississippi water washing over me 

Mississippi water washing over me 

Mississippi water washing over me 

Mississippi water 

Mississippi water
