The Vampire Kings of New Orleans - Dear Mississippi (Cajun Viking Records)

A dark, tragic song from a dark, tragic band. These guys were always the life of the fais do do *sarcasm*. We would never take the singer fishing in the Atchafalaya Basin or near the Misissippi River, because the couillon kept trying to jump in.

Lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Another day, on the Mississippi
The river's rollin', it never stops to sleep
Stay away, from the Mississippi
It'll pull you under, and your soul forever keep

[Verse 2]
I stand and wait, by the Mississippi
For her return, I never stop to sleep
Taken away, by the Mississippi
I'll wait forever, and your heart forever keep

[Guitar Break/Solo]

[Bridge]
Return, my love
I'm so lost without you
Return, my heart
I can't exist without you

[Acoustic Break]

[Verse 3]
My last day, on the Mississippi
The river's rising, it's time I go to sleep
Take me away, dear Mississippi
Gently pull me under, and my soul forever keep

[Repeat]
My last day, on the Mississippi
The river's rising, it's time I go to sleep
Take me away, dear Mississippi
Gently pull me under, and my soul forever keep

[Outro]
