Deep in the heart of Dixie Where cotton's still the king If you slide on down to the delta You can hear those banjos ring Might be the muddy water Comes in the spring with the rain Or a poor boy down on parchment farm At the end of a ball and chain Singing one Mississippi is a long time Gone in the blink of an eye Two Mississippi is a lifetime The years just drift on by M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I If you stand on the banks of the river As the evening sun goes down When the cattails shake and shiver You can hear that lonesome sound Might be the moon on the water Or the old grey ghost in the trees Or the scent of the sweet magnolia Rising on the breeze Singing one Mississippi is a long time The days just drift on by Letras de cancionesM-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I And the riverboat floats By like a ghost On its way down to New Orleans The paddle wheel turns The coal smoke burns From the heart of the delta queen If you head on past the levee Down a road that's got no name There's a white cross on the hillside And the sign says âJesus savesâ And when that congregation Began to sing and shout You could hear the rafters rattle In the land of the cottonmouth Singing one Mississippi is a long time The days just drift on by M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I From Letras Mania
