Sally's up in Mississippi tonight With a man she hardly knows Sally's wearin' brand new clothes Opportunity don't knock twice So Sally said, "Bye, bye" I hope she is alright Up in Mississippi tonight Sally left before the sun could rise When the city man came to town She turned his head around It was love with just one look When she saw The size of his pocketbook Oh, Sally's doin' fine She's up in Mississippi tonight But there's a mountain boy who's gonna remember you And Sally you're one old girl he hates to lose But you did what you had to do You know I'm happy for you But sometimes please think of me up there in Biloxi Sally's up In Mississippi tonight Stayin' in a big hotel Rich man payin' the bill Drivin' a brand new car Drinkin' in fancy bars Oh, Sally's havin' a time She's up in Mississippi tonight Sally's up in Mississippi tonight Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
