Steeldrivers - Ghosts Of Mississippi lyrics

Late one night behind corn whiskey* I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' in like a man Without a word I pa**ed that guitar over He tuned it up like I'd never seen A crooked smile was his expression Then he closed his eyes and began to sing [Chorus:] Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be Oh Lord why have you forsaken me Got me down in Mississippi where I don't want to be [Repeat Chorus:] When I woke up I looked into the mirror I saw no reflection for a while But as my eyes came into focus I recognized that crooked smile (repeat chorus) Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' like a man (repeat chorus)
