Forever stuck in Mississippi Cause Mississippi's stuck in me I don't want no other cities Just magnolia trees If you please I'm a pilgrim and a stranger That don't make, no never mind Want the velvet ditch to hold me Till the end of time It'll be just fine Want to float on down the river On a cloud of cotton dreams Pour some drink for Mr. Junior Juke all night for free and never leave I'm a pilgrim and a stranger That don't make, no never mind Want the velvet ditch to hold me Till the end of time It'll be just fine
