Mississippi Lady Lyrics - Down The Highway - Jim Croce

With just a sleeping bag 

And an old guitar 

I left the band in New Orleans 

I did some time with the bottle 

Some with the river queens 

I never thought I would meet a girl 

Who could turn my head around 

'Til I met that Mississippi lady 

In sleepy Gulfport town, she was a 

Mississippi lady 

My lovin' Gulfport gal 

She taught me how to love 

And she really loved me well 

She took me up to heaven 

Then she brought me down 

That Mississippi lady 

Sweet Cordelia Brown

Hot July in Gulfport 

And I was working in the bars 

And she was working on the street 

With the rest of the evening stars 

She said, "I never met a guy 

Who could turn my head around" 

And that's really sayin' something 

For sweet Cordelia Brown, she was a 

Now I'm back in New York City 

Playin' in a band 

But my mind's on Mississippi 

Is it hard to understand 

I never thought I would meet a girl 

Who could bring me that far down 

Like the girl I met in Gulfport 

Sweet Cordelia Brown, she was a 

That Mississippi lady 

Sweet Cordelia Brown 

That Mississippi lady 

Sweet Cordelia Brown
