Rosemary Clooney Moonlight Mississippi lyrics

Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town
They take in the side walks when the sun goes down
It's slow as [Incomprehensible] that drips from a can
But Moonlight Mississippi is the promised land

With their deep soft talking that's so pleasant to hear
Like corn on the [Incomprehensible] it's mighty sweet on the ear
There's just seven houses and one yellow hound
For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town

Down round the levy where magnolias bloom
I've never seen such a sight in my life
The air gets so heavy with sweet perfume
You can cut it up with a knife

At night on each plantation, cotton gleams so darn whites

Stars go on vacation, folks don't need a light
The trains don't stop at Moonlights unless they're flagged down
For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town

The air gets so heavy with sweet perfume
You can cut it up with a knife

At night on each plantation, cotton gleams so darn whites
Stars go on vacation, folks don't need a light
The trains don't stop at moonlights unless they're flagged down
For Moonlight Mississippi is a whistle stop town

You're gonna love my old whistle stop town
