I'd Jump the Mississippi

Well I’ve been lonely much too long
I'd give a Yankee dime if you come back home
Honey won't you let me hold you tight
Tears keep fallin' my eyes are blurred
If I had the wings of a pretty little bird
I'd fly right to your arms tonight

Chorus:
I'd jump the Mississippi deep and wide
If you were waitin' on the other side
Honey won't you let me hold you tight
I'd jump across and never get wet
And right there by your side I'd sit
Yes indeed everything's gonna be alright

If you would come back home to me
And make me happy like we used to be
I'd start out and meet you halfway
I'd leave here and never look back
I'd run a mile in a minute flat
To get to you before the end of day

[Chorus]

Yes indeed everything's gonna be alright
