Mississippi Draw
from Silvio Vinci Hosted by Silvio Vinci
MISSISSIPPI DRAW (by Silvio Vinci) Sun went down on a cotton road, Sun went down, Lord, I walked alone. Got dust in my shoes, And trouble in my bones. River keeps rollin’, black and slow, River keeps rollin’ where the lost men go. I called my baby’s name, But the water don’t know. It’s that Mississippi draw, Pullin’ me down low. That Mississippi draw, Won’t ever let me go. I got one hand on the bottle, One foot in the mud, And that old Mississippi Keep callin’ for my blood. Old screen door keeps bangin’ in the wind, Same damn sound since I don’t know when. She left before the morning, I ain’t seen morning since. Mmm… Lord… Don’t ask me where I’ve been. I been walkin’ with the devil Where the river bends. It’s that Mississippi draw, Pullin’ me down low. That Mississippi draw, Won’t ever let me go. No money in my pocket, No mercy in my soul, Just a six-string cryin’ Down an old dirt road. River keep rollin’… I ain’t askin’ why. River keep rollin’… Till the day I die. Mississippi draw… Mississippi draw… Take me home.
