Lyrics
MISSISSIPPI HIPPIE
©2012 Mackie Humphries
V1
They say she grew up near Greenwood
On a small farm just gettin’ by
Her man was in far off Vietnam
Never gave up hope he was alive.
V2
He’d taught her how to survive
Live off the land in the deep south
Folks accepted her gypsy ways
Her no frills life doing without.
CH 1
They call her Mississippi Hippie............
She shoots and traps, lays her own lines
Can skin alligators, make homemade wine
They say she still waits for her man
To come back from that foreign land
They call her Mississippi Hippie.........…
…………………..Mississippi Hippie............
V3
A lot of men wanted to love her
She’d shake her head and tell them no
No one doubted she loved her man
They thought someday she’d let him go.
..................SOLO...................
BR
Then one quiet day
A V-W bus
Rides River Road
In a cloud of dust
Her LONG LOST smiles
Saying, “Flower Girl
I need your love”....3x
Smiling she’s singing............
CH 2
“Now, call me Mississippi Hippie............
I shoot and trap, lay my own lines
Can skin alligators make homemade wine
And yes, I did wait for you... my man
To come back from that foreign land
I’m still your Mississippi Hippie............
.....Still your Mississippi Hippie............
.....Still your Mississippi Hippie.
................And you’re my man
........Still your Mississippi Hippie
fading........
.........Still your Mississippi Hippie
….......Still your Mississippi Hippie
...............And you’re still my man
........your Mississippi Hippie
........you’re still my man
.........still my man..........
