I ain't never seen the snowfall on the Delta Like the one that's gonna cover all of New York tonight But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that's a southern man's field of white Yeah, I turned my back and walked away But lately I ain't seen a sunny day Been thinking 'bout rolling on back home Back where I belong So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen Let the side wheels spin 'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when All these years they played a trick on me No, I ain't the man I used to be Tonight I feel like Mississippi People round here, Lord they move in such a pace I'm just another face, lost in the crowd There's a sweet sound being sung down in Dixie Now and again it gets me when I get to feeling down Yeah, I turned my back and walked away But lately I ain't seen a sunny day Been thinking 'bout rolling on back home Back where I belong So won't you put me on that riverboat Queen Let the side wheels spin 'Cause I ain't seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when All these years they played a trick on me No, I ain't the man I used to be Tonight I feel like Mississippi All these years they played a trick on me No, I ain't the man I used to be Tonight I feel like Mississippi Tonight I feel like Mississippi
