Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo

Lyrics:

• On the day that I was born
• Daddy sat down and cried
• I had the mark just as plain as day
• which could not be denied
• They say that Cain caught Abel
• rolling loaded dice,
• ace of spades behind his ear
• and him not thinking twice


• Half-step
• Mississippi 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 for
• is what you left behind
• get yourself a powder charge
• and seal that silver mine
• I lost my boots in transit babe
• A pile of smoking leather
• Nailed a retread to my feet
• and prayed for better weather


• Half-step
• Mississippi Uptown Toodleloo
• Hello, baby, I'm gone, good-bye
• 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 in
• the first man takes the sails
• The second takes the afterdeck
• The third the planks and rails
• What's the point to callin shots?
• This cue ain't straight in line
• Cueball's made of styrofoam
• and no one's got the time


• Half-step
• Mississippi 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
