Moonlight Mississippi

Moonlight Mississippi - Jimmy Dean/The Chuck Cassey Singers

Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle-stop town

They take in the sidewalks when the sun goes down

It's slow as molasses that drips from a can

But Moonlight Mississippi is the promised land

With their deep south talking that's so pleasant to hear

Like corn on the cob it's mighty sweet on the ear

There's just seven houses and one yellow hound

For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle-stop town

Each night the levy where magnolias bloom

You never seen such a sight in your life

The air gets so heavy with sweet perfume

You can cut it up with a knife

At night on each plantation cottom gleems so darn white

Now the Stars go on vacation they only know light

The trains don't stop at Moonlight unless

They're flagged down

For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle-stop town

At night on each plantation cottom gleems so darn white

Now the Stars go on vacation they don't need a light

The trains don't stop at Moonlight unless

They're flagged down

For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle-stop town

Now the train don't stop at Moonlight

They're flaggd down

For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle-stop town
