Mississippi River Let You Water Flow Lyrics - Singles - Doyle Lawson And Quicksilver

It's been a long time 'comin 

But I'm finally on my way 

14 years at Edyville's a might price to pay 

Once your week away from home's turned into all these years 

One regret, One broken heart was taunted into tears. 

Mississippi River let your waters flow 

Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico 

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun 

Smell the sweet Magnolia 

When the day is done. 

Oh rivers when I look at you 

I think of time I've lost 

Sittin' in a dirty cell I've had to pay the cost 

For a life of crime I chose a prize I can not win 

When I get to Louisiana I'll never leave again. 

Mississippi River let your waters flow 

Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico 

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun 

Smell the sweet Magnolia 

When the day is done. 

Mississippi River let your waters flow 

Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico 

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun 

Smell the sweet Magnolia 

When the day is done. 

Louisiana 'bihue in the mornin' sun 

Smell the sweet Magnolia 

When the day is done. 

Mississippi River (Mississippi River) ((Mississippi River)) (((Mississippi River)))
