Mississippi Moonlight Lyrics – Those Folk
Singer: Those Folk
Title: Mississippi Moonlight
My cup is empty
And the water is high
The mighty river
Is rough and wild
Well I’ve passed the time, Lord
But I failed at love
Big river send me
To the Lord above
They stole from me
My shining angel
Her perfect body
Down by the highway side
Well I caught those rounders
And I gave ‘em hell
My price to pay
I’ll let the judge decide
Mississippi moonlight
On judgement day
Louisiana chain gang
My dues to pay
Well I’ve crossed my heart, Lord
And I pray to die
And now life stands still
Beneath the full moon light
Now mama don’t you cry
Or go my bail
My watch and chain Ma
Are yours to keep
You taught me good things
I taught myself to fail
And I’ll love you still
In my eternal sleep
99 years in the Baton-Rouge pen
I worked the dusty old highways
From end to end
Would I change it all
To have my freedom?
Well my freedom’s not there
Since my darling’s gone
Mississippi moonlight
On judgement day
Louisiana chain gang
My dues to pay
Well I’ve crossed my heart, Lord
And I pray to die
And now life stands still
Beneath the full moon light
