Tupelo
Darling, you look dazzling
That bully shouldn't be crying to sleep
Oh, cry for only about the flood
Everybody gon' tell you about it
Yeah, it's just a little country town
Our Mississippi
That's M-I, MISS-ISS-IPPI, Mississppi
Everybody expected a flood, nobody knew would happen
I was just a little boy at the time, 22 years old
I was just walking around before it started, minding my own business
Get in my palace
Didn't have motion about Mississippi
That's M-M-M-I, M-I-S-S, M-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, big flood
Happened a long time ago, I remember it well, I was there
I was there, but I didn't wanna be there
Tupelo, Tupelo Mississippi
That's T, T-U, T-U-po, T-U-pelo, Tupelo, big flood
Terrible
That bully shouldn't be crying to sleep
Oh, cry for only about the flood
Everybody gon' tell you about it
Yeah, it's just a little country town
Our Mississippi
That's M-I, MISS-ISS-IPPI, Mississppi
Everybody expected a flood, nobody knew would happen
I was just a little boy at the time, 22 years old
I was just walking around before it started, minding my own business
Get in my palace
Didn't have motion about Mississippi
That's M-M-M-I, M-I-S-S, M-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, big flood
Happened a long time ago, I remember it well, I was there
I was there, but I didn't wanna be there
Tupelo, Tupelo Mississippi
That's T, T-U, T-U-po, T-U-pelo, Tupelo, big flood
Terrible
