"Mississippi River Let Your Water Flow" lyrics - DOYLE LAWSON & 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)
