Artist/Band: Charley Pride
Lyrics for Song: Along the Mississippi
Lyrics for Album: Sweet Country [RCA Victor] [1973]



(D. Tankersley - B. Robison)



When we were young along the Mississippi

Life was never lonely way back then

We'd need each other down along the dirt road

And go for walk so along the river bend.



I bought some ground along the Mississippi

And told you of my plans that lay ahead

But you were dreaming all about big city

And far off places in the books you read.



Now when leaves fall down along the Mississippi

I look back north into the chilly wind

I wait and watch for you along the dirt road

And wonder if you're coming back again.



I built a house along the Mississippi

And longing for the day when we would wed

I waited for you down along the dirt road

But far off places won your heart instead.



Now when leaves fall down along the Mississippi

I look back north into the chilly wind

I wait and watch for you along the dirt road

And wonder if you're coming back again.



And wonder if you're coming back again...
