I'd Jump the Mississippi

1
I been lonely much too long
4
I’d give a Yankee dime if you come back home
1 5
Honey won’t you let me hold you tight
1
Tears keep a-fallin’ my eyes are blurred
4
If I had the wings of a pretty little bird
1 5 1
I would fly back into your arms tonight

4
I’d jump the Mississippi deep and wide
1
If you was a-waitin’ on the other side
5
Honey just to hug and hold you tight
1
I’d jump across and never get wet
4
Right there by your side I’d set
1 5 1
Yes indeed everything would be alright

If you would come back home to me
Make me happy like I used to be
I’d start and meet you halfway
I’d leave here and never look back
I’d run a mile in a minute flat
To get to you before the end of day
