Mississippi and my friend they went out for a spin
Like they had done so many times before
Mississippi and my friend were like gloves and hands
I always knew he loved it by the shore
Suddenly one cold and peculiar day
He would´t listen to a word I´d say
Mississippi and my friend had a stormy affair
Somehow I knew that he was slipping away
Oh what have you done to him?
Is he not coming back again no more?
I can see it now, he was drawn to her depths
For a comfort I could not provide
And I don´t know if I´ll ever be the same
Now the river runs so wild
Oh what have you done to my friend?
Is he not coming back again no more?
Oh my heart is crying so hard
I miss him so
How can it ever restore
Oh am I falling apart?
He is not coming back again no more
Oh Mississippi, what have you done to my friend?
He is not coming back again no more...
