Lyrics

Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? She broke my heart down at Baton Rouge Down on the Gulf Coast sand I remember the night when she caught me right I was trying to play my hand, yeah Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Juke joint Sally on the bayou blue On a hot Mississippi night She could make a country boy's dream come true Says she won't but you know she might, yeah Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Delta Queen down on the levee Sitting 'neath a cypress tree Sweet little thing sure got heavy When she stole my heart from me, yes she did Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Nitty gritty Mississippi Who's gonna love a poor boy? Yeah Love a poor boy Poor boy
