4:40[Verse] She moves like the river wild and mean Boots hit the ground where the grass ain't green Her voice a storm Her laugh a sin Mississippi Queen Where do I begin [Chorus] Oh Mississippi Queen You’re a fire unseen Dancing in the dark You’re the rebel’s dream Mississippi Queen Won’t you show me the way Or leave me lost till my dying day [Verse 2] Her eyes like whiskey Burn and bite She’s a ghost at dawn A thief at night The world can’t tame her Don’t even try Mississippi Queen You’re a sweet goodbye [Bridge] She’s the sound of a broken chain The thunder before the rain She’ll love you till you ache inside Then vanish with the morning tide [Chorus] Oh Mississippi Queen You’re a fire unseen Dancing in the dark You’re the rebel’s dream Mississippi Queen Won’t you show me the way Or leave me lost till my dying day
