about

A ghost story set on the banks of the mighty Mississippi.

A song about living with your past decisions.

lyrics

Ghosts of the Mississippi
Been to many places and I cannot tell
Been to many places and I cannot tell
Left Vicksburg, Mississippi one day to soon
Left Vicksburg, Mississippi one day to soon

I have seen the Devil walking hand in hand
I have seen the Devil walking hand in hand
Lord, have mercy, save me from this hell
Lord, have mercy, save me from this hell

Last night I lay awake, oh my lord
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me
Last night I lay awake, oh my lord
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me

There's something in his eyes that says
There's something in his eyes that says
Please scare this demon away
Please scare this demon away

Last night I lay awake, oh my lord
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me
Last night I lay awake, oh my lord
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me

I'm all struck down, loosing my faith
I'm all struck down, loosing my faith
I felt the ground fall from below my feet
I felt the ground fall from below my feet

Last night I lay awake, oh my lord
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me
Last night I lay awake, oh my lord
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me
Let the ghost of the Mississippi River haunt me
