Mississippi

Mississippi and my friend they went out for a spin

Like they had done so many times before

Mississippi and my friend were like gloves and hands

I always knew he loved it by the shore

Suddenly one cold and peculiar day

He would't listen to a word I'd say

Mississippi and my friend had a stormy affair

Somehow I knew that he was slipping away

Oh what have you done to him

Is he not coming back again no more

I can see it now he was drawn to her depths

For a comfort I could not provide

And I don't know if I'll ever be the same

Now the river runs so wild

Oh what have you done to my friend

Is he not coming back again no more

Oh my heart is crying so hard

I miss him so

How can it ever restore

Oh am I falling apart

He is not coming back again no more

Oh Mississippi what have you done to my friend

He is not coming back again no more
