Forever stuck in Mississippi Cause Mississippi's stuck with 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 roll me Till the end of time That'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 But that don't make no never mind Want the velvet ditch to roll me Till the end of time That'll be just fine
