Testo River Child - Jesse Lee
Testo della canzone River Child (Jesse Lee), tratta dall'album New Country Classics Volume 1
Jessie Lee was a singer on the Delta Queen
That steamed from St. Louis down to New Orleans
Her daddy was a gambler named One-Eyed Jack
They caught him dealing from the bottom
And they shot him in the back
Her mama was a dancer named Diamond Lil
A tobacco farmer's daughter from Louisville
She left this world when her baby was delivered
And Jessie grew up a child of the river
Yes she's a river child
Running free and wild
She had fire and muddy water flowing through her veins
Sweet river child
Late one night she was singing with the band
Out in the crowd she spied a handsome young man
She said someday I'm gonna be his wife
And that's when Great Granddaddy came into her life
He took her home with him down to Jackson, Mississippi
Said mama look at this angel I brought home with me
She was high society, didn't even crack a smile
Wouldn't have no part of no river child
She's a river child
Running free and wild
She had fire and muddy water flowing through her veins
Sweet river child
The two of them only had one night together
But they started something that will last forever
And that's the branch that broke off my family tree
And floated on down the river to me
I'm a river child
Running free and wild
I've got fire and muddy water flowing through my veins
From that sweet river child
Sweet river child
Running free and wild
I've got fire and muddy water flowing through my veins
From that sweet river child
Sweet river child
Sweet river child
Jessie Lee was a singer on the Delta Queen
I'm a river child
