[Verse 1] Greenville woman You better stay away from me Yeah, the man on the river Has got your front door key Look out, captain When you pass that town Well, the Greenville woman Lord, she run you aground [Chorus] She was my Mississippi honey Lord, I gave her all my money What else could she do to her man She promised she would wait I hear she caught a freight And ran off with the railroad man [Verse 2] [?] on the river Can make a good man blind So he stumbles in a barroom Just to lose his mind The Greenville woman She sorta strolls up to you For a glass of ginger ale Lord, she take away your blues [Chorus] She was my Mississippi honey Lord, I gave her all my money What else could she do to her man She promised she would wait I hear she caught a freight And ran off with the railroad man [Verse 3] Greenville woman You know I meant you kind You got a waterlogged memory Like a piece of driftwood mind You treat people dirty Dirty like a dog Better turn on your radar [?] [Chorus] She was my Mississippi honey Lord, I gave her all my money What else could she do to her man She promised she would wait I hear she caught a freight And ran off with the railroad man
