[Verse 1]
With just [D]a sleeping
[G]bag and an old guitar
I left [A]the band in New Or[D]leans
I did some [G]time with the bottle,
[A]some with the river [D]queens
I never [G]thought I would meet a girl

in New York [G]City
[A]Playin' in a [G]band[D]
But my mind's on Mis[G]sissippi
Is [Em]it ha[A]rd to unders[D]tand
I never [G]thought I would meet a girl
Who could [Em]bring me that far [G]down
