Lyrics of Ghosts of mississippi

Late one night behind corn whiskey*
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
I dreamed about the ghosts of mississippi
And the blues came walkin' in like a man
Without a word i passed that guitar over
He tuned it up like i'd never seen
A crooked smile was his expression
Then he closed his eyes and began to sing
(chorus:)
Oh lord why have you forsaken me
Got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
Oh lord why have you forsaken me
Got me down in mississippi where i don't want to be
(repeat chorus:)
When i woke up i looked into the mirror
I saw no reflection for a while
But as my eyes came into focus
I recognized that crooked smile
(repeat chorus)
Late one night behind corn whiskey
I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand
I dreamed about the ghosts of mississippi
And the blues came walkin' like a man
(repeat chorus)
