Intro
Chorus: You're so fine, you're that state of mine, Mississippi
Verse: Up at Eagle Lake, all them Conway cousins runnin' round, I'm tryin' to make them laugh
Uncle Eustace yellin', "Stella you better behave yourself", such great memories of my past, you're so fine, you're that state of mine
Verse: For all the world to see, you've been sufferin' recently, Katrina hit you pretty hard, yes she did.
Like a river boat gambler, you're down, but you're not out when you've been dealt a nasty card, oh yea
You're so fine, you're that state of mine
Bridge: Follow me over the bridge, follow me over the river
Follow me over the bridge, follow me over the river
Follow me over the bridge, follow me over the river
I want you to, follow me over the bridge, you can follow me over the river
Chorus: Here we go, Mis-sis-sippi, Mis-sis-sippi, Mis-sis-sippi, Mis-sis-sippi
You're so fine, you're that state of mine, Mississippi
You're so fine, you're that state of mine, Mississippi
Verse: Heading down to Natchez, to the Under the Hill Saloon,
Andre' and all the gang are waiting, you know i can never get back there too soon
You're so fine, you're that state of mine
Verse: You maybe the cradle of the blues, but you're just not gonna lose
You're way to proud for that, yes you are
Just like the trouble in your past, you know that it won't last
And to you I tip my hat, oh yea
You're so fine, you're that state of mine
Guitar Solo
Chorus: Mis-sis-sippi, Mis-sis-sippi, Mis-sis-sippi, Mis-sis-sippi
