Ghosts of Mississippi

[Chorus 1] 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 walking like a man [Verse 1] Without a word I passed 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 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 walking like a man [Chorus 2] 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
