Down south in a Mississippi town,
My baby's waitin for me.
It's been so long since I've been gone,
I hope that she remembers me.
Mississippi, I missed you yeah
Mississippi, I miss you
Mississippi, I miss your love
Mississippi, I miss you.
Darlin, I'll be coming to you soon
I'm waiting by that train.
Cus down south is where I wana be
Baby it can be the same.
I'm so sorry that I left you to make it in the city
I know I'm to blame
So this last song that I'm writing in this city
I'm writing from a southern train
Now I'm ridin down south aboard an amtrac line
Gonna find my baby and make her mine
She's waitin for me by the river side
Sippin on sweet tea to pass the time
In the sun shine
Take me down to Mississippi town!
