Slow Down MIssissippi Verse 1Remember our drive down to MemphisWe were running from the ice and snow and cold north wind blowsFor a day and a night our wheels were burningWe had a pretty little song for a pretty little showVerse 2We were driving on past South DakotaHey South Dakota, no offense but you ain’t no Tennessee They gave us a room overlooking the moonThe river passed by on a muddy guitarAnd the bridge lit up and we could see it allDidn’t have my Beal Street luckI got hustled from a brother, took my organ and my lunchAnd now I’m singing...ChorusSlow down Mississippi riverI love to hear you sing your song so slowCause I’m up along the riverbed here with my Memphis city rhythmAnd I’m gonna leave a piece of me here when I goVerse 3Letras de cancionesPassing the wheel off on the freewayThose five hour shifts ain’t nothing for Big T and meWe promised to be there by morning, and share a drink with the sunGoing to settle in for a week of rhythm and soulWe’re gonna make them spinWe’re gonna make them crawlSo, don’t miss it and Just listenChorusSlow down Mississippi riverI love to hear you sing your song so slowCause I’m up along the riverbed here with my Memphis city womanAnd I’m gonna leave a piece of me here when I goand here I goSolo Section (harp)Verse 4 (Organ lead)But not long after we landedThe lord came to me in a dreamHe said I had done enough getting myself down hereYou ain’t gonna need to sing and you ain’t gonna need to play no moreVerse 5And those doctors said they weren’t used seeing boys like meI might have been the whitest boy furthest away from home they had ever seenComing down here looking for love south of the borderAll you found was your organ was a moaning on a Sunday worship morningI got a message from the preacherJust to listen to the teacherTake your hands from your ears and just listenand Don’t miss itChorusSlow down Mississippi riverI love to hear you sing your song so slowUp along the riverside with my Memphis city rhythmI just might have to leave a piece of me here when I goSlow down Mississippi riverI love to hear you sing your song so slowUp along the riverside with my Memphis city rhythmI just might have to leave a piece of me here when I go From Letras Mania
