Far East Mississippi Lyrics
[Intro]
We should love one another, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
You best not be jokin'
You better be strokin' comin' down to Mississippi 'cause
They don't allow no strippin' down in far east Mississippi, no, no, no
Hang on
[Bridge]
Far east Mississippi
Far east Mississippi
[Instrumental]
[Interlude]
We ought to love one another
Like sisters and brothers, yeah
Guilty of lovin' a woman
[Verse 2]
They don't allow no bad lipping, no skinny dipping
In far east Mississippi, child, no
They don't allow no honey
No tailducking in far east Mississippi, far east Mississippi, child
We should love one another, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
You best not be jokin'
You better be strokin' comin' down to Mississippi 'cause
They don't allow no strippin' down in far east Mississippi, no, no, no
Hang on
