Lyrics
Midnight MS
The dust was a flyin', the crops were all dyin'
The drought was choking everything in sight
The sun left the ground begging for water
Suzanna's alone, her baby is gone
On the porch with the radio on
Prayin' for water
Water drown me
She pleads to the sky
Oh, don't you know
If she could, she would cry
Coming up the road above the horizon
Maybe he's just a mirage
But from where she sits he looks like a tall glass of water
With perfumes and oils, rainmaker toys
He pulls in the clouds on a string
She feels the noise and then comes a mad rush of water
The flood plain did swell, the crops went to hell
Suzanna was carried away
Water drown me
You can still hear her cry
At midnight in Mississippi
What a sad lullaby
Now there's a lake above the horizon
But maybe it's just a mirage
