I can tell you're from the south but it picks out on your mouth Mississippi gal I love you And when I hear you call come on and hear you all Mississippi gal I love you Now a picture of cottage built for two way down south where dreams come true Vanish in that southern style drives me crazy all the while Now I walk a million miles for a great big southern smile Mississippi gal I love you [ Guitar - fiddle ] Now remember some fine day I've been headin' back your way Mississippi gal I love you And when I hear you call come on and hear you all Mississippi gal I love you Now if you'd make up your mind today I'd give my life and that ain't hay I'm so tired of roamin' round with a gal like you I'd settle down I'd walk a million miles for a great big southern smile Mississippi gal I love you
