[Verse 1]
D
I'm sure you've heard my story
A7
From the Kenny Wagner song,
D G
How down in Mississippi
A7 D
I took the road that's wrong.
[Verse 2]
D
It was down in Mississippi
A7
Where I murdered my first man,
D G
When the sheriff there at Leakesville
A7 D
For justice took his stand.
[Verse 3]
D
Then I went from Mississippi
A7
To the state of Tennessee,
D G
Two men went down before me
A7 D
As I took my liberty.
[Verse 4]
D
I wandered to the country,
A7
I never could find rest,
D G
'Til I went to Texarkana
A7 D
Away out in the west.
[Verse 5]
D
Again I started drinking,
A7
And again I pulled my gun,
D G
And within a single moment
A7 D
The deadly work was done.
[Verse 6]
D
The sheriff was a woman,
A7
But she got the drop on me;
D G
I quit the game and surrendered,
A7 D
Gave up my liberty.
[Verse 7]
D
I'm now in Mississippi,
A7
And I soon shall know my fate;
D G
I'm waiting for my trial,
A7 D
But I do not dread my fate.
[Verse 8]
D
For still the sun is shining,
A7
The sky is blue and fair;
D G
But my heart is not repining
A7 D
For I do not fear the chair.
[Verse 9]
D
I've had my worldly pleasures,
A7
I've faced a many a man,
D G
But it was down in Texarkana
A7 D
Where a woman called my hand.
[Verse 10]
D
Young men, young men, take warning,
A7
Oh take my last advice:
D G
If you start the game in life wrong
A7 D
You must surely pay the price.
