Josh Kelley Mississippi River Girl Lyrics

Mississippi River Girl Lyrics

She would sit alone by the bank

Always coming home so late

She'd
take off all her clothes and jump in

I'd be giving up man if she'd be
giving in

Baby let me dry your hair

I got some clothes that you can
wear

Over there on the bed

And I'd always forgive her, but the

Mississippi

River never did



She'd sit out on the dock and
put her feet in

She was skipping rocks and she was skipping

School
again

She stole my only cigarettes, she smoked the

Whole pack one
by one, light em up and

Put em to her lips

And I'd always forgive
her but the Mississippi

River never did



She was always
running away

No matter how hard I tried, she would

Never stay, and
I wish that she would run

To me

Like the Mississippi river, is
running

Towards the sea,

And now my poor heart is on the mend,

And I'll always be with her, because the

Mississippi river never
ends

I'll always be with her because the Mississippi river never ends
