C
It's been a long time coming but I'm finally on my way 
F                                        G7
14 years at Eddyville's a might price to pay 
C                                                     F
Once your week away from home's turned into all these years 
C                               G7           C
One regret one broken heart was taunted into tears 

            Am                    C
Mississippi River let your waters flow 
              F                  C
Carry me down to the Gulf of Mexico 
          Am                   C
Louisiana bayou in the morning sun
                F                        C
Smell the sweet magnolia when the day is done
 

Oh rivers when I look at you I think of time I've lost
F                                           G7
Sitting in a dirty cell I've had to pay the cost 
C                                             F
For a life of crime I chose a prize I can not win 
C                            G7          C
When I get to Louisiana I'll never leave again 

repeat #2,  x2 
 
          Am                   C
Louisiana bayou in the morning sun
                F                        C
Smell the sweet magnolia when the day is done
