Mississippi River, a song by BBP

On that Mississippi
That's where it happened on a cloudy night
On that Mississippi
That's where it happened on a cloudy night
A man took his own life
On the account of his Evil Wife

Well she gave it to him
Then she gave it to him again
Yeah she gave it to him
And then she gave it to him again
She's given him that poison
The one they call Heroin
Yeah Heroin

He soon was addicted
He could not put that needle down
Yeah he soon was an addict
He could not put that needle down
Until that cloudless night
The night my dearest brother drown.
