Lyrics

It was on the 16th when I met my fate
I didn?t want to do it but there?s no other way
Right there on the corner where 61 meets 49
He said meet me there at midnight I won?t be far behind

He came up from nowhere and he tuned my guitar
Walked me on over to the cemetery yard
His eyes were hollow as the night and dark as hell
I can already feel the hell hounds on my trail

I got my mojo hands working and a black cat bone
But the spirit that follows won?t leave me alone

I hit up all the blues joints in the Mississippi line
I knew it had to end it?s just a matter of time
It was on the 1st day when I paid my debt
He said you think you?ve seen hell well you haven?t seen it yet

I sold my soul on Mississippi Road

Guitar Solo

It was in a small town roadside bar
They handed me a half full whiskey jar
I knew when the liquor started flowing through my veins
That these we?re gonna be my final days

Finally on the 3rd day he eased my pain
I fell onto my knees and howled at the rain
As I drew my last breath, he said was it worth it
I looked ?em in the eyes and said the whole world will know my name

I sold my soul on Mississippi Road
