Peein' In the Mississippi Blues

Peein In The Mississippi Mama she done left me last night down at Gaslight Square! Mama she ain't done me right she done left me there. I wish a steamboat was leavin and gettin me outa here! Oh Mama! Beggin to that no hearted woman it won't do no good crawlin to that no hearted woman wouldn't even if'n I could and Mama, beggin that cheatin woman, gonna make 'bout as much a difference as I did last night peein in the Mississippi. Oh! Lord what a night! But you know little mama she ain't done me right! Oh Mama, guess I mightas'well swim down to Nawrlens, but I don't like swimmin in my own pee. © Ron Wilson Arbuthnot aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet
