Down the Mississippi

Tied up, gagged and a candle
 In a trailer RV
 And that purple dressed lady
 Is dripping hot wax on me
 Down the Mississippi
 The girl she was so pretty
 And even though she whipped me
 I'm stuck in Memphis city
 And now it's such a pity
 That I won't come back home
 Now I'm lost on my own
 She put a spell on my bone
 She drove it under my skin
 Worst place that I've ever been
 Sign on the wall says, "Volunteer State"
 Dead bird on the floor, dog food in a cage
 Man, lawdy lawd, I'm so far away from home
 T'was a diner in Memphis
 She said her name was Elaine
 And the weather forecast
 Said'll be thunder and rain
 Two golden teeth and as rad as heck
 Tight as the rope around a guilty man's neck
 She grabbed my hand and said let's get goin astray
 And now I'm lost on my own
 She put a spell on my bone
 She drove it under my skin
 Worst place that I've ever been
 Sign on the wall says, "Volunteer State"
 Dead bird on the floor, dog food in a cage
 Man, lawdy lawd, I'm so far away from home
 ♪
 Now my temperature's sinking
 I guess my race it is gone
 Met my fate and I'm thinking
 About the deeds that I've done
 She grabbed my mind cut a slice of me
 Kept me alive but I wish that she
 Cut through my throat and let me get going back home
 But I'm lost on my own
 She put a spell on my bone
 She drove it under my skin
 Worst place that I've ever been
 Down the Mississippi
 The girl she was so pretty
 And even though she hit me
 I'm stuck in Memphis city
 And now it's such a pity
 That I won't come back home
 Down the Mississippi
 The girl she was so pretty
 And even though she hit me
 I'm stuck in Memphis city
 And now it's such a pity
 That I won't come back home
