Mississippi River

Marry me by the Mississippi River, baby

Take the train to New Orleans

Tell me that I'm yours forever

Marry me by the Mississippi River, baby

Take the train to New Orleans

Tell me that I'm yours forever

Soldier, fightin' to the end

I'll never be alone again

His love is endless

As mighty as a weapon

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o

Carry me, to first [?]

Then kiss me in a cemetery

Ebony keys, and ivory

By the white gate serenade me

Til the water starts rising

And the levee overflows

Sinners and saints gonna leave this place

But together we'll fight the storm

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o

My days of darkness

The easy days are gone

Washed away

I need shelter in your arms

My dreams are drownin'

Along with this old town

Paradise is fallin'

How do we get back home?

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o

Never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go-o-o
