paroles de chanson Roll On Sweet Mississippi - Dobie Gray



Roll on sweet Mississippi deep and wide
You're a river more than water
And your water's more than gold
Your ripples are all stories
Which your many sons have told
Your sound is made of drumbeats for
Which many have fall and died
Your water's made of teardrops
Which your Southern people cried
So roll on sweet Mississippi
Wash the faces of your sons
And bathe them in that golden Delta sun
Yes and fill them with the spirit of
Which Dixie heroes died
Roll on sweet Mississippi deep and wide
You have watched the women's faces
As their men went off to die
For the heartland
And their country never asking why
You have heard the others laughing
At your gentle Southern ways
Still you keep right on rolling
Never caring what they say
You have clothed and led your people
In their bodies and their minds
And the warmth of your reflection
Has raised them to be kind
You're a river more than water
And your water's more than gold
Lord, you're to the Southland
You're a wonder to behold.
