Lyrics

When the Banks of the Mississippi Run Dry
Robert Farrell ©1997

Could be miles away
I would hear your cry
I will be your love
When the banks of the Mississippi run dry

Could have been your man
In another time, and I held
You up
When the banks of the Mississippi ran wild
When the banks of the Mississippi ran wild

Come with me and hold my hand
As the rain falls
Across this Delta land

I could have been your saviour
But you made no sound
Down on the Mississippi she...
Down on the Mississippi she...
Down on the Mississippi she drown

Come with me and hold my hand
As the rain falls
Across this Delta land

When the banks of the Mississippi run dry
When the banks of the Mississippi run dry
