Lyrics
I went up to Vicksburg town to see my girl with eyes of green
Changed my life, saw the light just like she asked of me
Oh, my darlin' I pledge my love to thee
Everything was goin' just fine 'til I fell down the stream
Yodelay-hee-hee
Bound and tangled on the drags at the bottom of the river flow
Well, I'm on my way
I don't even know, Lord
Well, if you let me
You got a little Mississippi on you
You got a little Mississippi on your teeth
I got a little Mississippi on you
I got a little Mississippi on your teeth
Yodelay-hee-hee
I saw my life shine before my eyes and it was wicked
Well, I could not see
Yeah, I let it sink my whole world
It washed the measure of me
You got a little Mississippi on you
You got a little Mississippi on your teeth
I got a little Mississippi on you
I got a little Mississippi on your teeth
Well, I never made it back to Vicksburg, no
To see those eyes of green
My vice has taken its toll
A fellow man is what's left of me
You got a little Mississippi on you
You got a little Mississippi on your teeth
I got a little Mississippi on you
I got a little Mississippi on your teeth
