Moonlinght Mississippi (A Whistle Stop Town)

Moonlinght Mississippi (A Whistle Stop Town) - Rosemary Clooney (萝丝玛莉·克鲁妮)

Written by：Willard Robison

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

Down round the levy where magnolias bloom

I've never seen such a sight in my 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

Stars go on vacation folks 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

Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town
