Heaven Mississippi - Bob Margolin

Maybe I was dreaming

I’m not really sure

I never heard his footsteps

Or the creaking of my door

But standing by my bedside

Younger than the dawn

Marty Waters said poor Bob

It’s time to sail on

His finger caught the moonlight

Seems he wore a silver slide

I looked again and shook my head

My eyes opened wide

I know we were in Cartsdale

Was it now or way before

Marty’s house was rocking

He led me through the door

Heaven Mississippi

The blues I love was there

Heaven heaven Mississippi

Old school blues filled the air

Robert Johnson and the devil

Still walked side by side

In heaven Mississippi

The blues will never die

That’s alright sang Jimmy Rogers

Bye bye sang Nappy Brown

Sonny Land and Pine Top

Tore that piano up and down

Marty handed me his slide

Well yeah shook the walls

Willy Big Eyed Smith hit the back beat

And Forest Jones bass had balls

Heaven Mississippi

The blues I love was there

Heaven heaven Mississippi

Old school blues filled the air

Robert Johnson and the devil

Still walked side by side

In heaven Mississippi

The blues will never die

Hubert and Coco

Wang Dang Doodle till the day

Don’t mess with Junior Wells

Or Freddy’s Hideaway

I closed my eyes and shook my head

And when my sight came back

My head was in the pillow

But my soul was in that shack

Heaven heaven Mississippi

The blues I love was there

Heaven heaven Mississippi

Old school blues filled the air

Robert Johnson and the devil

Still walked side by side

In heaven Mississippi

The blues will never die

Never die

Never die

Woo
