Mississippi Drowned the Shepherd Lyrics by The Anatomy Of...

Two Wanderers

0

Rising river, don't dare take my land
With your crooked-handed glance
Wife and child took to higher ground
Said I'd stay down to dance
Reaped these fields since my daddy passed
Warmed my homestead with his ax
Mississippi won't drown the shepherd
Rising river are you listening
Or drowned in a bleat obscene
Take my sheep, my youngest lamb
I'll buy your sand growing man
Ain't set to die, well, not today
I ain't fit for a sailors grave
Mississippi wouldn't drown the shepherd
Rising river now you got my feet
Can't turn away, you keep coiling
You start to make one final climb
If I could just wind back time
Should've gone when I was told
Hope he's wiser when he's grown
Mississippi don' drowned the shepherd
