[Intro 1]
[D]
[Bm][D]
[Bm]

[Verse 1]
[D]I had a sister
named Emma
Mississippi is [Bm]a river that floats in the States
[D]Just like the memory and the
wisdom of the water
Our [Bm]souls were connected
in so many ways
[G]Well, even though we haven't
talked in a while
I'm still [D]waiting for the day
to come when you will arrive
I'm [Em]sorry if I ruined happy
times we've been through
But know I won[A]der,
if I can spend my days without you and

[Verse 2]
[D]I had a mother,
and her name was Carolina
Caro[Bm]lina is a state in the States
[D]I think there's fifty but
there's only one mother
And [Bm]she won't even look in my face
[G]Well, you know I'd give it all
to [Em]be loved by you a[G]gain
But [D]everything's my fault
so I'll carry the blame
But now I'm grow[Em]ing,
I get older while the days pass by
Soon I'll be dy[A]ing thinking
you won't look me in the eyes

[Verse 3]
And it's [D]sad
[Bm]So sad
Family [D]values that we [Bm]had
It's just a memory in [G]your mind
[Em]Well, you've [G]gone [A]bad
There's no love
[D]

[Verse 4]
I had a father named Mr. Engelbert
Engelbert [Bm]Humperdinck sings really good
[D]I haven't heard him but I hear
my father's voice
It's in the [Bm]dreams where things
are like they should
[G]I miss your love which came
naturally
Sometimes [D]I cry,
when I think about how things used to be
Well, at [Em]least come and visit
me for only one time
Daddy, I love [A]you but I know you
won't pay me no mind

[Verse 5]
[D]And it's sad
It's so [Bm]sad
Family [D]values that [Bm]we had
It's just a memory in [G]your mind
Well, we've gone [A]bad
There's no [D]love
[Bm]No, no
