Mississippi Moon

(A)
Just dropped anchor off of Sawmill Slue
Got a sandwich in a sack and a cold one or two
Gonna catch a mess of cats 'fore the night is through
And fall in love all over with the Mississippi Moon

(A)
Wife's in a tizzy, cause her sister dropped in
To drive us both crazy for the whole weekend
Her and my opinions won't fit in one room
So tonight it's just me and the Mississippi Moon
Yeah, tonight it's just me and the Mississippi Moon

(B)
This muddy water's talkin' to me
Say's I need to clear my mind
Speaks of Summers when she knew me
And how it's been a long, long time
Gentle Mem'ries sneak up on me
Forgotten tales of Mr. Twain
And fishin' holes that used to taunt me
When this river knew my name

(A)
Weddin' bells Sunday for my little brother, Nate
Just found out Bridget's three weeks late
They'll be stayin' with us 'til the end of June
But now it's just me and the Mississippi Moon
Right now it's just me and the Mississippi Moon

(B)
This muddy water's talkin' to me
Say's I need to clear my mind
Speaks of Summers when she knew me
And how it's been a long, long time
Gentle Mem'ries sneak up on me
Forgotten tales of ol' Mark Twain
And delta dreams that used to haunt me
When this river knew my name

(A)
Just dropped anchor off of Sawmill Slue
Got a sandwich in a sack and a cold one or two
And that big yellow circle in the midnight blue
Say's tonight it's just me and the Mississippi Moon
Yeah, tonight it's just me and the Mississippi Moon
Nobody but me... and my Mississippi Moon
