George Jones & Melba Montgomery - I'd Jump the Mississippi lyrics

I'D JUMP THE MISSISSIPPI (George Jones - Johnny Mathis) «© '64 Glad Music » WITH MELBA MONTGOMERY I been lonely much too long I'd give a Yankee dime if you come back home Honey won't you let me hold you tight Tears keep a fallin' my eyes are blurred if I had the wings of a pretty little bird I would fly right to your arms tonight I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide if you was a waitin' on the other side Honey just to hug and hold you tight I'd jump across and never get wet right there by your side I'd set Yes indeed everything would be alright If you would come back home to me make me happy like I used to be I'd start and meet you halfway I'd leave here and never look back I'd run a mile in a minute flat To get to you before the end of day I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide... I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide...
