Trouble on my hands You, I did wrong Speaking of the lands Where I don't belong No matter where I go This heart just seems to know I can't get Mississippi off my mind Tired are these eyes Long since they've seen Purple tinted skies and patches of green No matter where I go This heart just seems to know I can't get Mississippi off my mind As a tot I got a lot of happiness Waving at a passing train Never dreamt that all it meant was loneliness Don't these tears of mine explain Weary all the day No peace, or rest Traveling far away From those I love best No matter where I go This heart just seems to know I can't get Mississippi off my mind
