Mississippi Bag

Water’s been raised over Rosedale
There’s a flood out on Highway One
My time is up, the sun’s gone down
Gotta pick up the bones and run

Bring me my Mississippi Bag
I’m gonna take the right hand road
Bring me my Mississippi Bag
I’ve got to lighten up my load

There’s a game in the Red Carpet City
It’s a racket I know very well
It ain’t entertainment, it’s enterprise
And she goes by the name “Mademoiselle”

Bring me my Mississippi Bag
I’m gonna take the right hand road
Bring me my Mississippi Bag
I’ve got to lighten up my load

I’ve got a sweet tooth that haunts like an obsession
It’s too beautiful to burn
I’m gonna hook that jones down in Natchez
Where the Big Muddy takes a turn
I know a gal living further south
I’m thinking we just might jump the broom
I’m gonna kick up some dust, Biloxi or bust
I hear the magnolias are in bloom
 
Bring me my Mississippi Bag
I’m gonna take the right hand road
Bring me my Mississippi Bag
I’ve got to lighten up my load
Give me my Mississippi Bag
Give me my Mississippi Bag
Give me my Mississippi Bag
Give me my Mississippi Bag
