Mississippi-Arkansas Bridge Lyrics

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

William Bell (born 16 July 1939) is an American soul singer and songwriter. As a performer, he is probably best known for his debut single 1961's "You Don't Miss Your Water" and 1968's top 10 hit in the UK "Private Number", a duet with Judy Clay.

One of the finest of the Stax/Volt soul artists, he was, like Otis Redding, able to tell a story with great sincerity and flawless musicality. His song "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)" is a Memphis masterpiece. Read more on Last.fm.
