Mississippi and my friend they went out for a spin Like they had done so many times before Mississippi and my friend were like gloves and hands I always knew he loved it by the shore Suddenly one cold and peculiar day He would´t listen to a word I´d say Mississippi and my friend had a stormy affair Somehow I knew that he was slipping away Oh what have you done to him? Is he not coming back again no more? I can see it now, he was drawn to her depths For a comfort I could not provide And I don´t know if I´ll ever be the same Now the river runs so wild Oh what have you done to my friend? Is he not coming back again no more? Oh my heart is crying so hard I miss him so How can it ever restore Oh am I falling apart? He is not coming back again no more Oh Mississippi, what have you done to my friend? He is not coming back again no more...
