Jesus Wanderin' Mississippi
Freighter ships floatin’ home,
the crews can’t find a bed,
been losin’ people for years,
gonna work these docks instead.
[chorus]
like to gamble down on the Gulf,
where the old ladies know how to be.
if you’re lucky you’ll find your self,
and Jesus wanderin’ Mississippi.
​
like to put it down in Gulfport,
like to moan this song,
cotton cross the river,
on the Gulf, you can tell what’s wrong .
my love gambled all her life,
she lost her way at forty,
twisted inside like a knife,
and Jesus wanderin’ Mississippi
[chorus]
