Verse 1
D
In 1965, I was a long way from home.
I was just a kid and I was
running from the world.
G
D
Well, I was sliding down a road
It was not so much a dream
as the only place I left to go
I just couldn't see how
much I didn't know
G
That I was never coming home again
I was further than I'd ever been
Don't you know any place will do
D
You got no place to go, no, no
Any place is better than nowhere
I got lost in California
Too big for just one girl
I was a child with my guitar
In a different kind of world
G
Saw you down in Berkeley
D
Well, you were singing the country blues
G
You were playing slide guitar
And to me you were a star
You were walking, talking so
Straight from the Delta
D
But I didn't tell nobody, no
Cause they wouldn't understand
And I was much too young
For the Mississippi man
Aw yeah
Well
Hey
You were looking pretty mean
With your hair slicked back and lean
I had my eye on you
And you I was on me too,
G
then you walked up real close
D
And you grabbed me from behind
When I turn around
G
I saw you with your silver tooth smile
You looked away, but as you turn I
D
Could hear you say I'll
be your sugar daddy
Tonight, baby,
and you'll be my little school girl
Good mornin' baby,
sweet Petunia and Mr. MacDowell
Put a jackknife on the string,
make it snap and make it ring
Legendas and half -steps
are the secret when you sing
G
Stompin' both your feet,
G
All right, but if you can't
sing like Charlie,
better put that guitar down.
Use your jackknife in the kitchen,
if you can't get the sound.
D
Cause you know that you
G
D
can't fake it, no, no.
G
D
You better call upon the soul
of Mr. MacDowell.
Hallelujah. Come on, baby.
Do the half step, got to shake it on down
Got to saw it right in half,
if you have to
Queen Maria says,
yeah you're right, well
Cause I'll be your woman child
You can be my Mississippi man
Thank for watching. you
