mississippi woman

Singer:david allan coe

with your lips so tender baby

and your eyes so bright. thought i'd write a letter

just to let you know

mississippi woman

baby

that i love you so

child. got into some trouble

down in mexico. robbed a man in san juan

and i shot a guy called joe. now i'm being hunted and the law is on my trail. next time i write you woman

i guess i'll be in jail. mississippi woman

try to understand

please don't sit around and wait for this lonely man. caught me in kentucky

the judge gave me a dime

bought a hacksaw from a trustee and i got away that time. right now

i'm in florida

on my way to tennessee. mississippi woman

baby

save your love for me

child. mississippi woman

with your long black hair

gee

i really miss you baby and i wish that you were here. oh

how you used to love me woman

every lonely night

with your lips so tender baby

and your eyes so bright. thought i'd write a letter

just to let you know

mississippi woman

baby

that i love you so

child. mississppi woman. mississippi woman!

mississippi woman.
