Daddy's not coming home now. That's what her mama told her And her world got colder She didn't know why he was running But since he'd left them She wanted to forget him Between the rocks and broken bottles At the riverside She closed her eyes And oh- She sang herself to sleep With the Mississippi River Lullaby
Eleven years gone by and counting She has a family But it's far from happy Her husband locks the door behind her She holds their daughter He doesn't want her She finds her way past the broken bottles To the riverside And her baby cries And oh- She dries her baby's eyes With the Mississippi River Lullaby
She wouldn't tell her daughter That things would work out fine Cause her daddy had said the same things And it was all a lie All she had held onto Through those years of sighs Was her lullaby: "Take me down your waters deep, Rock me as I fall asleep And wash away the promises The world could never keep To me."
She's all alone - her daughter's gone now There's nothing to run towards Nothing to live for She spends her days out in the sunshine But she can't feel it When she comes near it She's waist-deep in the waters Of the life she's started But she's broken hearted, so- Take her down your waters deep Rock her as she falls asleep And wash away the promises The world could never keep... As she sinks into the deep Singing the Mississippi River Lullaby.
