Lyrics

Caught the last train north from Louisiana
Gonna follow the Mississippi home
Oh I can hear the Cumberland calling
But she don’t sing like the shoals
Oh no she don’t sing like the shoals

So take my hand dear
We’re going for a long long ride
And if we’re still standing
At the long end of the night
Then we’ll rock and we’ll roll
And we’ll do it all over again
I’m ready to go
Just say when

Well I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place
I got nowhere to go
‘Cause Ponchartrain ain’t no Percy Priest
But at least she’s still got a soul
Oh at least she’s still got her soul

So take my hand dear
We’re going for a long long ride
And if we’re still standing
At the long end of the night
Then we’ll rock and we’ll roll
And we’ll do it all over again
I’m ready to go
Just say when

So take my hand dear
We’re going for a long long ride
And if we’re still standing
At the long end of the night
Then we’ll rock and we’ll roll
And we’ll do it all over again
I’m ready to go
Just say when
