David Allan Coe — Mississippi Woman

With your lips so tender baby,and your eyes so bright Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child Got into some trouble, down in Mexico Robbed a man in San Juan, and I shot a guy called Joe Now I'm being hunted and the law is on my trail Next time I write you woman, I guess I'll be in jail Mississippi Woman, try to understand Please don't sit around and wait for this lonely man Caught me in Kentucky, the judge gave me a dime Bought a hacksaw from a trustee and I got away that time Right now, I'm in Florida, on my way to Tennessee Mississippi Woman, baby, save your love for me, child Mississippi Woman, with your long black hair Gee, I really miss you baby and I wish that you were here Oh, how you used to love me woman, every lonely night With your lips so tender baby,and your eyes so bright Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child Mississppi Woman... Mississippi Woman! Mississippi Woman...
