Charley Pride - Missin’ Mississippi lyrics
[Charley Pride - Missin’ Mississippi lyrics]
Where the Mississippi River rolls
Plantin' our dreams in that black delta dirt
Choppin' out another tomorrow
A sharecropper's shack in a hot cotton patch
Was home sweet home to me
And I would't take a mansion in trade
For my Mississippi memories
Oh I'm missin' Mississippi
Miss that misty delta dawn
Oh I'm missin' Mississippi
Oh I miss my Mississippi home
Now the kids have grown up
And momma's passed on
And daddy's age is startin' to show
Things have changed there's a big four lane
Where the delta cotton used to grow
But time hasn't touched my daddy's love
For his hard workin' sharecropper's wife
Cause I've overheard his soft tender words
When he talks to her picture at night
Oh I'm missin' Mississippi
Miss that misty delta dawn
Oh I'm missin' Mississippi
Oh I miss my Mississippi home
Oh I miss my Mississippi home
