The Mississippi Sheiks by Rory Gallagher Lyrics
I saw the Mississippi Sheiks
On the corner of the street
Oh, was it just a dream
Like I've been traveling in a time machine
Ohhh
So come along with me
Back to the southern streets
I saw old Peg Leg Howell
His gang was making quite a sound
I heard Bo Carter wail
And that git-fiddle-combo played
Come along and see
The Mississippi Sheiks
Come on...
What you gotta lose
Can't ya hear me callin', calling you?
To beware should you fall, You've never lived at all
Till you've done that Georgia crawl
Well, I hear you little girl
You say you've been around this world
From Moscow to Abilene
But there is one place you've yet to see
So, come along and see
The Mississippi Sheiks
On the corner of the street
Oh, was it just a dream
Like I've been traveling in a time machine
Ohhh
So come along with me
Back to the southern streets
I saw old Peg Leg Howell
His gang was making quite a sound
I heard Bo Carter wail
And that git-fiddle-combo played
Come along and see
The Mississippi Sheiks
Come on...
What you gotta lose
Can't ya hear me callin', calling you?
To beware should you fall, You've never lived at all
Till you've done that Georgia crawl
Well, I hear you little girl
You say you've been around this world
From Moscow to Abilene
But there is one place you've yet to see
So, come along and see
The Mississippi Sheiks
