Mississippi Queen

mississippi queen

 

down on her knees

 

low on the bank of the river

 

tears roll down

 

her bruised cheeks

 

and her wails carry to the stars

 

mississippi queen

 

deep from the bayou

 

has wandered far from home

 

she misses her land

 

her soil

 

her home

 

and she yearns for the touch of the marsh

 

mississippi queen stands up

 

and puts the handful of soil

 

in a bottle

 

to carry with her

 

forever

 

mississippi queen

 

far from the river

 

leaves

 

in search of bigger and better

 

but will always carry a peice of home

 

with her
