0:08On the day when I was born Daddy sat down and cried
0:16I had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied
0:24They say that Cain caught Abel rolling loaded dice
0:31Ace of Spades behind his ear and him not thinking twice
0:41Half-step Mississippi uptown toodeloo
0:49Hello baby I'm gone goodbye
0:53Half a cup of rock and rye
0:56Farewell to you old Southern skies
0:59I'm on my way on my way
1:36If all you got to live for is what you left behind
1:43Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine
1:51Lost my boots in transit baby pile of smoking leather
1:58I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
2:07Half-step Mississippi uptown toodeloo
2:15Hello baby I'm gone goodbye
2:19Half a cup of rock and rye
2:23Farewell to you old Southern skies
2:26I'm on my way on my way
3:02They say that when your ship comes in
3:05The first man takes the sails
3:10Second takes the afterdeck the third the planks and rails
3:17What's the point of calling shots
3:20This cue ain't straight in line
3:24Cue balls made of Styrofoam and no one's got the time
3:34Half-step Mississippi uptown toodeloo
3:41Hello baby I'm gone goodbye
3:45Half a cup of rock and rye
3:48Farewell to you old Southern skies
3:51I'm on my way on my way
3:58On my way
4:31Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river
4:46Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river
5:00Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river
5:16Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river
5:31Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river
On the day when I was born Daddy sat down and cried I had the mark just as plain as day which 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 Grandio across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river Across the Rio Grandio across the lazy river
