Mississippi Songtext
von Mac Powell and the Family Reunion

Baby why you wanna play all those games
You′re drivin' me crazy, gonna go insane
But I got a new game that′s for you
And this one you're gonna lose
Close your eyes and count to ten
You're never gonna see me back again

One Mississippi, two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, four Mississippi and I′m gone
Five Mississippi, six Mississippi
Seven Mississippi, it ain′t gonna take too long
Eight Mississippi, nine Mississippi
Ten Mississippi, you treat me wrong
So by the time you get to ten Mississippi
I'm gonna be long gone


Baby why you wanna treat me so bad
You know I′m the best that you ever had
Now I'm gonna tell you what we′ll do
Gonna change up this game on you
Close your eyes and count to ten
You're never gonna see me back again

One Mississippi, two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, four Mississippi and I′m gone
Five Mississippi, six Mississippi
Seven Mississippi, it ain't gonna take too long
Eight Mississippi, nine Mississippi
Ten Mississippi, you treat me wrong
So by the time you get to ten Mississippi
I'm gonna be long gone

Long gone
I′m gonna be long gone
Close your eyes and count to ten
You′re never gonna see me back again


One Mississippi, two Mississippi
Three Mississippi, four Mississippi and I'm gone
Five Mississippi, six Mississippi
Seven Mississippi, it ain′t gonna take too long
Eight Mississippi, nine Mississippi
Ten Mississippi, you treat me wrong
So by the time you get to ten Mississippi
I'm gonna be long gone

I′m gonna be long gone
I'm gonna be long gone

Crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Hold back, hold back, I

Crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Hold back, hold back, I
