Roamin' The Streets of Jackson

Verse 1:

Well, I'm roamin' the streets of Jackson,
Moonlight fallin' down like rain.
Yes, I'm roamin' the streets of Jackson,
Moonlight fallin' down like rain.
I'm searchin' for my baby,
Hopin' she'll ease my pain.

Verse 2:

I hear the blues on Farish Street,
Echoes through the night.
Yeah, the blues down on Farish Street,
They echo through the night.
They speak about a heartache,
Under Jackson's neon lights.

Chorus:

Oh, Jackson, Mississippi,
Where my weary feet belong.
Lord, Jackson, Mississippi,
Singin' out my lonely song.
Roamin' streets of Jackson,
Tryin’ to right my wrongs.


Verse 3:

Saw a preacher by the corner,
Bible held up high.
Saw a preacher by the corner,
His Bible held up high.
Said, "Son, you better straighten,


Chorus:

Oh, Jackson, Mississippi,
You got my blues tonight.
Lord, Jackson, Mississippi,
Walkin' till the mornin' light.
These streets know my story,
I'll roam till I get it right.

Verse 4

Now sunrise meets my shadow,
Still ain't found my way.
Yeah, sunrise meets my shadow,
Lord, still ain’t found my way.
Roamin’ streets of Jackson,
Guess I'll roam another day.


Yeah, I'm roamin' streets of Jackson...
Till the blues take me away.
