Mississippi River Lyrics by Wild Belle

Dreamland

2016

[Verse 1] x2
Marry me by the Mississippi River, baby
Take the train to New Orleans
Tell me that I'm yours forever
[Verse 2]
Soldier, fightin' to the end
I'll never be alone again
His love is endless
As mighty as a weapon
[Chorus]
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
[Verse 3]
Carry me to Frenchmen Street
Then kiss me in the cemetery
Ebony keys, and ivory
By the white gate serenade me
Til the water starts rising
And the levee overflows
Sinners and saints gonna leave this place
But together we'll fight the storm
[Chorus]
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
[Bridge]
My days of darkness, the easy days are gone
Washed away, I need shelter in your arms
My dreams are drownin' along with this old town
Paradise is fallin', how do we get back home?
[Chorus]
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go-o-o
