"Mississippi Moon" lyrics

You tell me you're lonely
I know how you feel
Leaning up at the bars
Rocking back on my heels
She's a wild bird that wanders
Too easy to stray
I knew she had to lose me
To find her own way

Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon

A wave on the ocean
A whirlwind on the sand
I took a notion
That her ship could not land
So light me a candle
In the forest so deep
Honey, lay down beside me
Angels rock us to sleep

Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon
Through the Louisiana pines
To the Mississippi moon
