Those Folk – Mississippi Moonlight

Those Folk – Mississippi Moonlight Lyrics

Artist: Those Folk
Song: Mississippi Moonlight

My cup is empty
And the water is high
The mighty river
Is rough and wild

Well I’ve passed the time, Lord
But I failed at love
Big river send me
To the Lord above

They stole from me
My shining angel
Her perfect body
Down by the highway side

Well I caught those rounders
And I gave ‘em hell
My price to pay
I’ll let the judge decide

Mississippi moonlight
On judgement day
Louisiana chain gang
My dues to pay

Well I’ve crossed my heart, Lord
And I pray to die
And now life stands still
Beneath the full moon light

Now mama don’t you cry
Or go my bail
My watch and chain Ma
Are yours to keep

You taught me good things
I taught myself to fail
And I’ll love you still
In my eternal sleep

99 years in the Baton-Rouge pen
I worked the dusty old highways
From end to end
Would I change it all

To have my freedom?
Well my freedom’s not there
Since my darling’s gone
Mississippi moonlight

On judgement day
Louisiana chain gang
My dues to pay
Well I’ve crossed my heart, Lord

And I pray to die
And now life stands still
Beneath the full moon light
