I ain't never seen the snowfall on the Delta
Like the one that's gonna cover all of New York to- night
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that's a southern man's field of white
Bridge
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away, lately I ain't seen a sunny day
Been thinkin' 'bout rollin' on back home, back where I belong
So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen, let the side wheels spin
'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I can't remember when
All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
To- night I feel like Mississip- pi
(B) (Em) (C) (G) (D) (G)
People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
I'm just an- other face, lost in the crowd
There's a sweet sound bein' sung down in Dixie
Now and again it gets me when I get to feelin' down
Bridge
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away, lately I ain't seen a sunny day
Been thinkin' 'bout rollin' on back home, back where I be- long
So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen, let the side wheels spin
'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I can't remember when
All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
To- night I feel like Mississip- pi
(G) (B) (Em) (D) (C) (D) (D)
All these years they played a trick on me, no, I ain't the man I used to be
To- night I feel like Mississip- pi
