[Verse 1] Well she's born outside of Memphis, just north of Tupelo Oh Lord, she's a Mississippi Queen And just like that big river, oh Lord, she'll pull you under She fights fire with gasoline
[Verse 2] The first time that I saw her down at the white water Dance across those ancient hardwood floors And you could tell she had a history with the cigarettes and whiskey And the boys that had a way with words
[Chorus] But I want to make that glorious mistake She's got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake
[Verse 3] Much like my first occurrence with straight Kentucky bourbon Oh Lord, she took my breath away And when she called me "Darlin'" I started caterwaulin' Oh, I had nothin' else to say
[Chorus] But I want to make that glorious mistake She's got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake
[Verse 4] And when she gets me all alone she strikes the fear of Jesus She sends that fear coursin' through my blood And when we hit the bedroom, it's always fire and brimstone Yes I have been washed in the flood
[Chorus] And I want to make that glorious mistake She's got the kisses of a thousand angels and the bite of a rattlesnake
