"Magnolia" lyrics

Take me down to the Mississippi Delta
Let it wash all over me
You'll find a Gentry at the local parlor
A short ride on the River Queen
She sleeps on sheets of satin
She can't hide her gingham soul
She said, "Take me to the Delta
Put me in the water and free my soul"

First left past the Tallahassee crab shack
Sail on past the river's split
You'll hear Josephus on the boat dock singin'
Bless his heart, he can't sing a lick
He's still pinin' for his baby
She left a long time ago
But he said, "Take me to the Delta
Put me in the water and free my soul"

This isn't what I told myself it was
Skin like cinnamon and fire
A thousand times, I think I've been there in my mind
But I'm dreaming of magnolia tonight

Yeah, I'm dreamin' of magnolia tonight

Take me down to the Mississippi Delta
Let it wash all over me
You'll find a Gentry at the local parlor
A short ride on the River Queen
She sleeps on sheets of satin
She can't hide her gingham soul
She said, "Take me to the Delta
Put me in the water and free my soul"

This isn't what I told myself it was
Skin like cinnamon and fire
A thousand times, I think I've been there in my mind
But I'm dreaming of magnolia tonight

Oh, I'm dreamin' of magnolia tonight

She sleeps on sheets of satin
Can't hide her gingham soul
Well, she said, "Take me to the Delta
Put me in the water and free my soul"

My soul
