Mississippi Saturday Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]
Poor Mr. Deavel
From up in Clarksdale
Shot his brother with a pop, pop, pop
[C]Spent 20 years of hard time,
before he saw the [G]light
Now he's preach[D]ing on the corner of
[C]a Mississippi Saturday [G]night

[Verse 2]
Drop by the pawn shop by [G]the motel
Dream all you want,
you ain't going nowhere
Oh, [C]the ladies in the juke- joint
are looking for a [G]fight
Hell, they'll hunt [D]you like a rabbit
[C]on a Mississippi Saturday [G]night

[Verse 3]
[C]Oh, Vicksburg,
Natchez down to Crescent City
[G]Gulf Coast blues,
oh, it sure is a pity
[D]Don't make a lot of money
Baby, that's alright
'Cause [G]we make a lot [D]of lov[G]in'
[C]on a Mississip[G]pi Saturday night

[Verse 4]
[G]Oh, Mr. Semo
From Hushpuckena
He's having coffee with
your mama and your papa
If [C]you're messing with
his daughter
You better treat her [G]right
Or he'll treat [D]you like a possum
[C]on a Mississippi Saturday [G]night
[C]Vicksburg, Natchez

[Verse 5]
down to Crescent City
[G]Gulf Coast blues,
oh, it sure is a pity
[D]Don't make a lot of money
Baby, that's alright
'Cause [G]we make a lot of lovin' on a Mississippi

[Interlude 1]
Saturday night

[C][G]
[D][G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
Drive through the ball [G]park
Out by the Walmart
Park on the levee,
drinking 40s in the skylark
[C]People on the river are hoping for a [G]fight
Whole mess [D]of catfish cookin'
[C]on a Mississippi Saturday [G]night

[Verse 7]
[G]Oh, Mr. Hayworth
Sings like a jay bird
More like a jail bird inside a
FEMA trailer
[C]He's gonna need a pirogue,
the water's getting [G]high
Or you'll be sleep[D]ing in the river
[C]on a Mississippi Saturday [G]night
[C]Oh, Vicksburg, Natchez down

[Verse 8]
[C]
to Crescent City
Gulf [G]Coast blues,
oh, it sure is a pity
[D]Don't make a lot of money
Baby, that's alright
'Cause [G]we make a lot of lovin'
on a Mississippi Saturday
[C]Vicksburg,

[Verse 9]
Natchez down to Crescent City
[G]Gulf Coast blues,
oh, it sure is a pity
Don't make [D]a lot of money
Baby, that's alright
'Cause we make [G]a lot of lovin'
on a Mississippi Saturday night

[Verse 10]
I said we make a lot of [G]lovin' [C]on
a [G]Missis[D]sippi [G]Saturday [G]night
