Mississippi Black Water is a train I ride
Fifteen coaches long when it's cold outside
Mississippi Black Water is a lonesome sound
Singin' in my thoughts, when she comes around
Mississippi Black Water Blues
Mississippi Black Water Blues
Mississippi Black Water the poet heard
Written in the heart, of a Mocking Bird
Mississippi Black Water could wash away
The Sins of my lover, well what can I say
Mississippi Black Water Blues
Mississippi Black Water Blues
Mississippi Black Water what do I get?
Another day older, and closer to Death
Mississippi Black Water I'm askin you please
Sing me a song, to set me Free
