Mississippi River Got Me Crying Songtext
von Eden Brent

On a clear Delta night
I can see forever
Devil moon shining down
On the big muddy water
And the Mississippi River
Got me crying over you
Cicadas sing sweet
In the still evening air
I search through the stars
Hope I′ll find you up there
And the Mississippi River
Got me crying over you


She moves you so slowly
Silent and dark
But still you remain
Right here in my heart
Maybe I'll float down
To see you someday
Let that mean old river
Carry me away

It ain′t the blues in the breeze
Or that old beat-up gin
Ain't the crazy red sunset
Or the mood that I'm in
It′s the Mississippi River
Got me crying over you

She moves you so slowly
Silent and dark
But still you remain
Right here in my heart
Maybe I′ll float down
To see you someday
Let that mean old river
Carry me away


It ain't the blues on the breeze
Or that old beat-up gin
Ain′t the crazy red sunset
Or the mood that I've been in
It′s the Mississippi River
Oh, it's just the Mississippi River
It′s the Mississippi River
Got me crying over you
