I ride down the road to mississippi
Yes, I ride rollin’ over, to mississippi – again
Well, the only girl I loved
Has taken me away
She said that she wouldn’t do
But she did it anyway
And I begged her so politely
Yes, I begged her on my knees
But she didn’t give a damn
She is now running free
So I ride down the road to mississippi
Yes, I ride rollin’ over, to mississippi – again
When I came back home that night
Drunk and doggone blue
I read the note she’d left
And I thought I was through
Then I did realize
After six or seven weeks
That in such a big world
There’s a girl just for me
So I ride down the road to mississippi
Yes, I ride rollin’ over, to mississippi – again
I ride down the road to mississippi
Yes, I ride rollin’ over, to mississippi – again
