歌词
On the day that
I was born
Daddy sat down and cried
I had the mark just as plain as daywhich could not be denied
They say that
Cain caught
Abelrolling loaded dice,ace of spades behind his earand him not thinking twice
Half-stepMississippi
Uptown Toodleloo
Hello baby,
I'm gone, goodbye
Half a cup of rock and rye
Farewell to you old southern sky
I'm on my way - on my way
If all you got to live foris what you left behindget yourself a powder chargeand seal that silver mine
I lost my boots in transit babepile of smoking leather
Nailed a retread to my feetand prayed for better weather
Half-stepMississippi
Uptown Toodleloo
Hello baby,
I'm gone, goodbye
Half a cup of rock and rye
Farewell to you old southern sky
I'm on my way - on my way
They say that when your ship comes inthe first man takes the sails
The second takes the afterdeck
The third the planks and rails
What's the point in callin shots?
This cue ain't straight in line
Cueball's made of styrofoamand no one's got the time
Half-stepMississippi
Uptown Toodleloo
Hello baby,
I'm gone, goodbye
Half a cup of rock and rye
Farewell to you old southern sky
I'm on my way - on my way
Across the
Rio Grand-eo
Across the lazy river
Across the
Rio Grand-eo
Across the lazy river
