Track 2 - Iuka
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
I'd never tell a man to ask my Daddy for my hand
Am
I've got a thousand tales about the temper of that man
He'd shoot a man who came within a mile of my young frame
Am
But I know that you will take the risk so I can take your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
You've got the ring, I've got the keys and sixty miles ahead
E7 N.C. Am
Iuka, Mississippi, where the two of us will wed
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
Am
Never come home
[Verse 2]
My daddy finally knocked a little sense right into me
Am
So, I asked around until I found the Justice of the Peace
The bruises on my body can't be hidden anymore
Am
So park your car upon the hill, I'm headed out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
Step easy so my daddy doesn't hear us sneak away
E7 N.C. Am
Hang around, he'll shoot you down, that's why we just can't stay
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
[Bridge]
Dm
Follow close behind me, not much further now
Am
Oh, it's just a shadow, I didn't hear a sound
Dm
Ain't no way he heard us, ain't no way he'll come
E
I hear someone breathing, hold my hand and run____
[Instrumental]
Am
[Verse 3]
Somewhere in the river there's a gun the devil owned
Am
Somehow everybody knew that everything was wrong
A noose up in the maple tree, the old man's gonna pay
N.C.
Two headstones for two lovers who finally got away
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
Am
Never come home
Never come home
Am
Never come home
[Outro]
