Mississippi Moon

It's a late night show

On the radio

Goin' down the road

With the Wolfman

Lightnin' bugs all around

Moonlight shinin' down

On a little sleeply towns

Out in the flatlands, ya'll

I can still hear Mama callin'

Son it's time to come on in

When the darkness started fallin'

Everyone gathered 'round the table amen.



[Chorus]

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

Wish I never left you

Been a long time and I missed your face

Goin' on back to the delta.



Barbeques, back porch stews, and the guitar blues

Just about sundown

Mockin' melodies

Watermelon memories

Crusin' the streets downtown

Hot summer night down on the levy

She spread the blanket on the ground

There ain't no feelin' like the first time

When the inocence is lost and love is found



[Chorus]

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

Alomst reach and touch you

Spent enough time in that old rat race

Goin' on back to the delta



I'm tired of searchin' for the awnsers

Always out there on the run

I'm goin' back to where my heart is

Down Highway 61



[Chorus]

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

Almost reach and touch you

Been a long time and I missed your face

Goin' on back to the delta



[Chorus]

Mississippi moon hangin' in the haze

Wish I never left you

been a long time and I missed your face

Goin' on back to the delta
