Take Me Back To My Mississippi River Home

(альбом: Gum Tree Canoe - 1984)

Well, me and my buddies started out the other day
A studying a plan how to get away
The light come on and they caught us in the dark
Awaiting for the Chesterfield train to start

Conductor was standing right nigh the road
Then he hollered at the passengers ALL ABOARD
Then he reached up and he pulled the string
Bang bang bang went the banjo string

Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home
Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home

Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home
Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home

Well, the train pulled on to the very next stop
I looked around about seventeen cops
Cross my [?] ought to see me run
Bang bang bang went the Gatlin gun

Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home
Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home

Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home
Taking me back taking me back
Taking me back to that Mississippi River home
