Mississippi Murderer

Mississippi murderer

Runnin' down the track

Wherever you're headed, boy

You know you can't look back

You might (?) forget

That thing that you've done

You might live to regret it

But you probably die young

Now don't look back

Keep on runnin' down the track

Yeah!

Sing your song

Look out!

Mississippi murderer

Whatcha gonna do

You found her with another man

She was bein' untrue

The lights went out

You scrambled for the knife

Mississippi man(?)

He took a man's life

Now don't look back

Keep on runnin' down the track

Oh, sing it (?)

Oh, Mississippi murderer

Whatcha runnin' for

You know you're gonna get caught

Gonna get caught now, for sure

You're gonna keep runnin'

Runnin' 'round the world

Things like this happen

When a boy meets a girl

Don't look back

Keep on runnin' down the track
