THE WRONG END Well, I tried to be a "Bluesman", I can't seem to get it right When I drink my whiskey, I can't stay out TOO late at night Way up north where the Mississippi's born There's not a lot of cotton, just a lot of corn Black dirt farmers trying to sow their seeds Blonde haired, blue-eyed people called Swedes On The WRONG END of The Mississippi River It's a land of snow and ice, Lord knows you gonna SHIVER! Because I was born on The WRONG END Of The Mississippi River I was born on The WRONG END Of The Mississippi River If my woman up and left me, I'd probably just forgive her Late at night I'm standing at the crossroad I tried to sell the devil my soul All alone out on Highway 61 Satan couldn't see me through the midnight sun I'm on The WRONG END Of The Mississippi River It's a land of snow and ice, Lord knows you gonna SHIVER! Well I tried to be a "Bluesman", can't seem to get it right Said, I tried to be a "Bluesman", I can't seem to get it right When I drink my whiskey, I can't stay up TOO late at night I asked the saleslady for a "Mojo Hand" She tried to sell me something that was made in Japan She said "I got something that you will like better" She tried to sell me a "Mohair" sweater On The WRONG END Of The Mississippi River It's a land of snow and ice, Lord knows you gonna SHIVER! I tell ya that I was born on The WRONG END Of The Mississippi River Said, I was born on The WRONG END Of The Mississippi River If my woman up and left me, I'd probably just forgive her |
