Lyrics
1st verse
When the evening sun goes down
I get so lonesome in this great big old town
But the things that I miss most of all
Is I miss Mississippi and you
2nd verse
Don?t know why I left my home
but right now I feel so alone
And the things that I miss most of all
Is I miss Mississippi and you
(Bridge)
{Don?t know why there?s not a star in the sky}
{the only things that glistens IS the tears in my eyes}
{This great big old city is so dog-gone cold}
{Yes the good Lord knows just what I?d give to hold}
3rd Verse
{You in my arms and to touch your face}
& feel the warmth of your loving embrace}
{ yes the things that I miss most of all}{is that I miss Mississippi
and you}- Repeat 3 times &out.
