Mississippi,

Give my baby back to me

Mississippi,

He belongs in Tennessee.

I set and watched you lying your bags at back the door
You always wanted something more.

I hear the echoes of your very last goodbye
I hate that I couldn't change your mind.

Mississippi,

Give my baby back to me

Time moves slowly

For a lonely girl in Tennessee.

Deep in your heart you always wanted to go home

But you wouldn't leave me here alone

But love wasn't enough for you to settle down and stay
I hate to watch you drive away.

Mississippi,

Give my baby back to me

Mississippi,

He belongs in Tennessee.

Mississippi,

Give my baby back to me

Time moves slowly

For a lonely girl in Tennessee.

Uh uh uh...

Uh uh uhh.
