lyrics

sign for a sally

there's a cigar box full o' usual toys
and the dragon fly was dead
locked up inside the usual noise
that happens in my head

she sewed my clothes with a wrinkled nose
i was glad to have a drink
some swedish lies and the price was right
in the mississippi heat

chorus
mississippi heat's alive and well
smilin' up the alley all black and white
with a sign for a sally
and a righteous fare thee well

she was clingin' to me i was singin' to her
suffocation made the play
i was strung out cold lookin' out the door
in the mississippi heat

so i split the scene back east to dream
in another state affair
stealin' sleep inside a bottle
from the mississippi heat

chorus

you can change your clothes maybe change your mind
even buy a point o' view
but the same ol joe wakes up in the mornin'
with the blues inside o' you

chorus
