Lyrics
On the day when I was born, Daddy sat down and cried I had the mark just as plain as day that could not be denied They say that Cain caught Abel rolling loaded dice Ace of Spades behind his ear and him not thinking twice Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way If all you got to live for is what you left behind Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smoking leather I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way They say that when your =ship comes in, the first man takes the sails Second takes the afterdeck, the third, the planks and rails What's the point of calling shots This cue ain't straight in line Cue balls made of Styrofoam and no one's got the time Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of rock and rye Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way, on my way Across the Rio Grande-o Across the lazy river Across the Rio Grande-o Across the lazy river Across the Rio Grande-o Across the lazy river Across the Rio Grande-o Across the lazy river Across the Rio Grande-o Across the lazy river [Instrumental]
