Muddy Mississippi
Recorded by Reba McEntire
Written by Julie Jones and Johnny Bernard

C                               F                        C
I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy Mississippi
                                 F                         C
But I can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me
    F                                                               C
The morning sun would find me swinging from the rope that's hanging free
                                   F                          C
And I drop in to the waters and go swimming in the muddy Mississippi

                            F                                 C
A boy came to the Delta and we would swing together from that tree
                             F                     C
I could see my dreams in his eyes as he held on to me
F                                                       C
Swinging in the sunlight loving in the shadows wild and free
                                F                     C 
And I made him promise he would take me down to New Orleans

                                  F                              C     
Bright lights of the city made my red dress and shoes look brand new
                                         F               C
While he worked the night shift I turned on and I turned loose
  F                                                                 C
I lost my pride I lost my man I did things a girl like me shouldn't do
                                      F
Now I can't face this living with the swelling signs 
                    C
Of new life showing through

C                               F                        C
I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy Mississippi
                                 F                         C
But I can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me
    F                                                               C
The morning sun would find me hanging from the rope that's swinging free
                                          F                        C
And I’ll swing for the last time o'er the waters of the muddy Mississippi

                                           F                        C
Yeah I’ll swing for the last time o'er the waters of the muddy Mississippi
