[Verse 1]
Forever stuck in Mississippi
Cause Mississippi's stuck in me
I don't want no other cities
Just magnolia trees
If you please

[Chorus]
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make, oh never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
Till the end of time
It'll be just fine

[Verse 2]
Want to float on down the river
On a cloud of cotton dreams
Pour some drink for Mr. Junior
Juke all night for free and never leave

[Chorus x2]
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
That don't make, oh never mind
Want the velvet ditch to hold me
Till the end of time
It'll be just fine
