Forever stuck in Mississippi
'Cause Mississippi's stuck in me
I don't want no other cities
Just magnolia trees
If you please
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make no never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
'Til the end of time
It'll be just fine
Want to float on down the river
On a cloud of cotton dreams
Pour some drink for Mr. Junior
Juke all night for free and never leave
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make no never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
'Til the end of time
It'll be just fine
