Mississippi murderer
Runnin' down the track
Wherever you're headed, boy
You know you can't look back
You might (?) forget
That thing that you've done
You might live to regret it
But you probably die young
Now don't look back
Keep on runnin' down the track
Yeah!
Sing your song
Look out!
Mississippi murderer
Whatcha gonna do
You found her with another man
She was bein' untrue
The lights went out
You scrambled for the knife
Mississippi man(?)
He took a man's life
Now don't look back
Keep on runnin' down the track
Oh, sing it (?)
Oh, Mississippi murderer
Whatcha runnin' for
You know you're gonna get caught
Gonna get caught now, for sure
You're gonna keep runnin'
Runnin' 'round the world
Things like this happen
When a boy meets a girl
Don't look back
Keep on runnin' down the track
