GOODBYE MISSISSIPPI

(Robert A. Wilders)

Goodbye Mississippi, goodbye Louise.
Goodbye Mississippi, tell me please.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
The people have killed you, you don’t even know why.

Goodbye Santa Clause, goodbye Marie.
Goodbye Santa Clause, it’s sad to see.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
The people have wronged you, don’t even know why.

I went down the Mississippi.
I went down the Mississippi.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
On a steamboat called the Delta Queen.

Goodbye Delta gambler, goodbye Joe.
Goodbye Delta gambler, took all my dough.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Gotta get off at the next stop, can’t afford to ride no mo’.

Goodbye Delta singer, sing the blues so fine.
She’s a hell of a lover, kisses taste like wine.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
No, I can’t forget her, think about her all the time.

Drift on mighty Mississippi.
Drift on mighty Mississippi.
Drift on.
Drift on.
You gotta drift on, when you don’t got no home.

So goodbye Mississippi, hello New Orleans.
Goodbye Mississippi, hello New Orleans.
Goodbye.
Hello.
Ain’t nothin’ I own, but these ol’ blue jeans.
