From the recording Greatest Hits
Lyrics
Oh the mighty Mississippi, gonna run and run
Yeah the mighty Mississippi, gonna run and run
Oh I’m going over Jordan, chase the warmth of other suns
I walked barefoot to the station, dodge the boss man’s Tommy gun
I walked barefoot to the station, dodge the boss man’s Tommy gun
Oh and I’m going over Jordan, chase the warmth of other suns
Oh play it for me one time (Solo)
Oh if I make Chicago – hope Chicago treats me kind
I will carry round a piece of everything I left behind
Oh here I can’t do nothing, just gon’ come undone
Yeah, here I can’t do nothing, just gon’ come undone
Oh and I’m going down over Jordan, chase the warmth of other suns
This ain’t no land of milk and honey, when I ain’t got none
Oh it’s no land of milk and honey, when I ain’t got none
I’m going down over Jordan, chase the warmth of other suns
