Subject: Lyr Add: MISSISSIPPI (W. Theunissen) From: Ted from Australia Date: 31 Aug 98 - 06:01 AM Mary I think this is what you are looking for Regards Ted MISSISSIPPI W. Theunissen. 1976. Recorded by Pussycat. 1. Where you can hear a country song from far And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar Where all the lights will go out one by one, The people join the song And the wind takes it away. CHORUS: Oh, Mississippi, I remember you. Whenever I should go away I'll be longing for the day That I will be in Greenville again. Mississippi, you'll be on my mind Every time I hear this song. Mississippi, roll along until the end of time. 2. Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea And lovers found the place they like to be How many times before this song was ending, Love and understanding everywhere around. CHORUS 3. Now the country song forever lost its soul When the guitar player turned to rock and roll But every time when summer nights are falling I always will be recalling dreams of yesterday. CHORUS |
Subject: Lyr Add: MISSISSIPPI YOU'RE ON MY MIND (Winchester From: Gene Date: 30 Aug 98 - 04:51 PM Refresh post! Found the following - don't know if it's THE MISSISSIPPI you are looking for.
MISSISSIPPI YOU'RE ON MY MIND Jesse Winchester I think I see a wagon-rutted road With the weed growin' tall between the tracks And along one side runs a rusty barbed wire fence And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack. CHORUS Mississippi you're on my mind Mississippi you're on my mind Oh, oh, Mississippi - you're on my mind. I think I hear a noisy old John Deere In a field specked with dirty cotton lint And below that field runs a little shady creek And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint. CHORUS I think I smell the honeysuckle vine The heavy sweetness like to make me sick And the dogs, my brood, they're hungry all the time And snakes are sleepin' where the weeds are thick. I think I feel an angry oven heat The southern sun just blazes in the sky In the dusty weeds a fat old grasshopper jumps I got to make it to that creek before I fry. CHORUS

Subject: RE: "Mississippi" From: Marymck Date: 01 Aug 98 - 11:46 AM It wasn't Crystal Gayle--this song was on a record,probably before Crystal was born. The few lines I can remember are: Mississippi, You've been on my mind. Whenever I shall go away I'll be longing for the day When I can be in Greenville, again. Thanks! |

Subject: RE: From: Joe Offer Date: 31 Jul 98 - 01:15 PM Hi, Mary - can you give us a little more to go on, maybe a few phrases you might remember? One that comes to mind is "Miss the Mississippi and you," but I'll bet there are scads of songs with the name "Mississippi." -Joe Offer- |
Subject: Song Lyrics to "Mississippi" From: marymck@worldnet.att.net Date: 31 Jul 98 - 12:01 PM I heard this song many years ago and I believe the artist who recorded and sang it was Barbara Fairchild. Have looked everywhere for the words, but cannot find it. If you have the words, I would really like to get them. Thanks! MaryMck |
