ghosts of mississippi
Singer:steeldrivers, the
late one night behind corn whiskey
i fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
i dreamed about the ghosts of mississippi
and the blues came walkin' like a man
without a word i passed that guitar over
he tuned it up like i'd never seen
a crooked smile was his expression
then he closed his eyes and began to sing
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
when i woke up i looked into the mirror
i saw no reflection for a while
but as my eyes came into focus
i recognized that crooked smile
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
late one night behind corn whiskey
i fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
i dreamed about the ghosts of mississippi
and the blues came walkin' like a man
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
why have you forsaken me?
got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
