The Secret Sisters - Iuka
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
I'd never tell a man to ask my Daddy for my hand
AmI'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
AmBut I know that you will take the risk so I can take your name
[Pre-Chorus]
You've Dmgot the ring, I've got the keys and sixty miles aAmhead
E7 N.C. Am
Iuka, Mississippi, where the two of us will wed
[Chorus]
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
'Fore he Amknows the two of us have up and gone
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
We can Brun away and never come Ehome
Never come Amhome
[Verse 2]
My daddy finally knocked a little sense right into me
AmSo, I asked around until I found the Justice of the Peace
The bruises on my body can't be hidden anymore
AmSo park your car upon the hill, I'm headed out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Step Dmeasy so my daddy doesn't hear us sneak aAmway
E7 N.C. Am
Hang around, he'll shoot you down, that's why we just can't stay
[Chorus]
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
'Fore he Amknows the two of us have up and gone
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
We can Brun away and never come Ehome
[Bridge]
DmFollow close behind me, not much further now
AmOh, it's just a shadow, I didn't hear a sound
DmAin't no way he heard us, ain't no way he'll come
EI hear someone breathing, hold my hand and run____
[Instrumental]
Am
[Verse 3]
Somewhere in the river there's a gun the devil owned
AmSomehow 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]
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
'Fore he Amknows the two of us have up and gone
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
We can Brun away and never come Ehome
[Chorus]
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
'Fore he Amknows the two of us have up and gone
DmTake me down to Iuka, Mississippi
We can Brun away and never come Ehome
Never come Amhome
Never come home
AmNever come home
[Outro]
Am
