Mississippi-Arkansas Bridge - William Bell

There was a club across the river

Across the bridge to Arkansas

The people there

They didn’t care about the law

I met this girl she made me shiver

When she danced all through the night

But when sister Charlie sang

He made everything right

She came up every night

From across the ridge

Now I gotta go back across the Mississippi-Arkansas bridge

One night I swear I saw an angel

She would laugh, dance, and sing

She came to hear the music

Sonny Boy and B.B. King

I left for drinks and she kept dancing

I left her all alone

But when I came back

She was gone, gone, gone

She came up every night

From across the ridge

Now I gotta go back across the Mississippi-Arkansas bridge

There was a club across the river

Across the bridge to Arkansas

She came up every night

From across the ridge

Now I gotta go back across the Mississippi-Arkansas bridge

She came up every night

From across the ridge

Now I gotta go back across the Mississippi-Arkansas bridge
