Mississippi Turn Around

See the heron all scared when the river turn round

Full house queens and pair, and

The river turn round

So, flow Mississippi, south to the north

Biloxi Fault now, she is the source

Mississippi River she go home again

Save the Machinoix people, but not the white men

Save the Machinoix people in old New Orleans

Save jolie Colinda, The Terminal Queen

     For the rocks in the river get higher and higher

     And the water gets lower and lower

     There are ghosts in our lives, they will not fade

     There are ghosts in our lives, they will not fade

Save Jack Karaquazian, save his good friend Sam

Save the game and the gamblers, me and ma femme

Save me and les herons, love ma sweet cherie

Til the river turn round pard, turn back from the sea

We play and we dance, we deal and we spin

Make the river turn back for us, that ain’t no sin

Make the big muddy river curl round like a snake

Make that old river boat, lord, she spin and she shake

Go down to Memphis, up to old New Orleans

For jolie Colinda, she’s The Terminal Queen

She find all the colour that ever was found

Jolie Colinda, ma reine most profound

     For the rocks in the river get higher and higher

     And the water gets lower and lower

     There are ghosts in our lives, they will not fade

     There are ghosts in our lives, they will not fade
