kate campbell - mississippi and me lyrics
daddy was a preacher in sledge
we were living on gospel and beans
every sunday night deacon jones
would give a silver dollar to me
on the way home my poor momma
would pry it from my hand
and say it fell from heaven
way down in me a river runs deep
reminding me just who i am
good or bad it’ll always be
mississippi and me
mississippi and me
cissy was a beautician next door
she had the worst hair-do in town
she always smoked pall malls and drank tabs
and hung out at the delta lounge
but i heard she finally found herself
she runs the best motel
in west memphis, arkansas
way down in me a river runs deep
reminding me just who i am
good or bad it’ll always be
mississippi and me
mississippi and me
mr. thomas lee ran the bank
and made a fortune on catfish farms
every time you’d try for a loan
you had to twist his arm
i heard one night in tupelo
he stepped out of a window
he thought he was elvis
way down in me a river runs deep
reminding me just who i am
good or bad it’ll always be
mississippi and me
mississippi and me
mississippi and me
