Muddy Mississippi Lyrics - Reba Mcentire

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 

Photos 

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
