I'd Jump The Mississippi - George Jones, Melba Montgomery

I 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 a fallin' my eyes are blurred if I had the wings of a pretty little

bird

I would fly right to your arms tonight

I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide if you was a waitin' on the other side

Honey just to hug and hold you tight

I’d jump across and never get wet right there by your side I’d set

Yes indeed everything would be alright

If you would come back home to me make me happy like I used to be

I’d start 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

I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide…

I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide…
