Appeared on Slim Possibilities

(David Munyon/S.P. Standley)

This song was written on Elvis 55^th birthday in Atlanta, Georgia. Sometimes love don't bloom. I saw Elvis at the Mastering Lab with Doug Sax in 1972.

Hey René I got a question for you

In all this Mississippi Rain

I was hurtin' and I tried to phone ya'

your mama said you'd run away

there among the photographs and letters

of a girl and her woman ways

She was lying...

I was screaming at the skies who seem

to cause this pain

Mississippi Rain, we've always been

pretty good friends

Mississippi Rain, I'll never fall in love again

Hey René I got a question for ya'

in all this Mississippi Rain

what am I supposed to do without you

an' all these memories and stains

I believed you when I said I need ya'

now I need you and I won't pretend

I been looking at this 5x7 and I know

I know why it rains

Mississippi Rain, we've always been

pretty good friends

Mississippi Rain, I'll never fall in love again

September, we never, will ever win

how can I, I just cry and imagine

Mississippi Rain
