Lyrics

Took the south train down to Delacroix
Mississippi woman handed me a joint
Asked me if I'd be in this town for long
I said long enough to make you sing your song

Slow down baby
Driving me crazy in the head

She stayed up with me till and quarter to three
Sleeping in the tub I thought I'd let her be
As Dylan still played on the radio
Hopped out the back door, time for me to go

So long honey
You've been good to me

Found myself mixing with the socialites
Fine wine dining, champagne on ice
Danced with Chloe for an hour or two
FBI came, "we've been looking for you."

See here man
Take these shackles off my hands

Hold on you've got the wrong man

Jumped out the cop car tucked and rolled
Hitched a ride headed for El Paso
Driver asked me if he knew me someplace
One the news said they were building a case

Took me in
His damn self

Locked in Bowie County rested from the night
Jury sat down ready for a fight
Mississippi woman had fallen asleep
House burnt down and they said it was me

Say what
She was doing fine when I left

Hold on You've got the wrong man

Testimony said they had seen me leave
They didn't know I had aimed to please
Bastards said they would throw me in jail
Twenty-year count without bail

Your honor
Justice has not been served

Cellmate Johnny went to lawyer school
Had a nice wife, took him for a fool
Showed me a picture of his once girl toy
Mississippi woman down from Delacroix

Seems she
Took all we had

Hold on you've got the wrong man
