Mississippi River Lyrics

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
horus
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
horus
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 falling
How do we get back home?
horus
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
