Rosemary Clooney — Moonlight Mississippi lyrics

Lyrics

Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town
They take in the side walks when the sun goes down
It’s slow as that drips from a can
But Moonlight Mississippi is the promised land
With their deep soft talking that’s so pleasant to hear
Like corn on the it’s mighty sweet on the ear
There’s just seven houses and one yellow hound
For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town
Down round the levy where magnolias bloom
I’ve never seen such a sight in my life
The air gets so heavy with sweet perfume
You can cut it up with a knife
At night on each plantation, cotton gleams so darn whites
Stars go on vacation, folks don’t need a light
The trains don’t stop at Moonlights unless they’re flagged down
For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town
The air gets so heavy with sweet perfume
You can cut it up with a knife
At night on each plantation, cotton gleams so darn whites
Stars go on vacation, folks don’t need a light
The trains don’t stop at moonlights unless they’re flagged down
For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town
You’re gonna love my old whistle stop town
