Mississippi Flush

Well, they got a little game called five card draw

They take it serious in Arkansas

You can make a little money wagerin' on cards

You can't get to heaven livin' this hard

Deliver me from my sorrow and shame

Release me from my burden and pain.It's a one eyed jack the suicide king

The ace of spades and two black queens

Never draw to an inside straight

I feel a ten's knockin' at the gate

Deliver me from my sorrow and shame

Release me from my burden and pain.

Ooh, blackbird, blackbird fly away home

Say a prayer over Saint John's bones

Tell the gambler's their gonna die alone

Blackbird blackbird fly away home

Ooh, blackbird, blackbird come back again

Don't tell momma where I've been

I'm goin' to the rive I'm gonna jump in

Ohhh, blackbird, blackbird come back again.It's an ace high straight and all the same suit

Read 'em and weep this hand can't lose

Somebody said it ain't good enough

'Cause that don't beat a Mississippi flush

Mr. Ledbetter will you tell me again

What's a Mississippi flush and how's it beat this hand

He said they don't ask questions in the graveyard

It's a small revolver and any five cards

Deliver me from my sorrow and shame

Release me from my burden and pain.

Ohh, blackbird, blackbird fly away home

Say a prayer over Saint John's bones

Tell the gambler's their gonna die alone

Blackbird, blackbird fly away home

Ohh, blackbird, blackbird come back again

Don't tell momma where I've been

I'm goin' to the rive I'm gonna jump in

Ohhh, blackbird, blackbird come back again...
