Mississippi Saturday Night

Old Crow Medicine Show · Carry Me Back [2012]

Poor mr. ??????

from up in clarksdale

shot his brother with a pop, pop, pop

spent 20 yrs of hard time, before he saw the light

now he's preaching on the corner of a mississippi saturday night



Drop by the Pawn Shop by the motel

dream all you want, you ain't goin nowhere



ohh ladies in the juke joint, lookin for a fight

Hey they'll hunt you like a rabbit on a mississippi saturday night



Oh, vicksburg, natchez down to crescent city

gulf coast blues oh it sure is a pity

Don't make alot of money , baby that's alright

cuz they make alot of lovin' on a mississippi saturday night



Oh Mr. ????

from ????

He's having coffee with your mama and your papa

if you're messin with his daughter

you better treat her right

ohhh treat you like a possum on a mississippi saturday night



Oh, vicksburg, natchez down to crescent city

gulf coast blues oh it sure is a pity

Don't make alot of money , baby that's alright

cuz they make alot of lovin' on a mississippi saturday night



Drive through the Ball Park, out by the walmart

park on the levee, drinking 40's in a skylark

People on the river, hope'n for a fight

whole mess of catfish cookin' on a mississippi saturday night



Oh mr. Hayworth, sings like a jay bird

more like a jail bird inside a FEMA trailer

he's gunna need a puro, the water's getting high

or you'll be sleeping in the river on a mississippi saturday night



Oh, vicksburg, natchez down to crescent city

gulf coast blues oh it sure is a pity

Don't make alot of money , baby that's alright

cuz they make alot of lovin' on a mississippi saturday night



Oh, vicksburg, natchez down to crescent city

gulf coast blues oh it sure is a pity

Don't make alot of money , baby that's alright

cuz we make alot of lovin' on a mississippi saturday night



I said we make alot of lovin' on a mississippi saturday night
