The Queen Of Tupelo

 

Her hair is like honey, eyes sparkle like the rain

She wears a holy crown made of motorcycle chain

She's a wild magnolia, all of Mississippi knows

She beats the Bells of Natchez, She's the Queen of Tupelo

 

Queen of Tupelo, She's the Queen of Tupelo

She lives up in a tower down the Old Salitillo Road

 

When she was just a princess and her daddy was the king

All his drinkin' and his cheatin' made her momma mean

Now she's as hard as diamonds, she's as cold as snow

There ain't no talkin' to her, she's the Queen of Tupelo

 

Queen of Tupelo, She's the Queen of Tupelo

She lives up in a tower down the Old Salitillo Road

 

If you ever see her she'll cast her spell on you

And if you try to hold her, she'll break your heart in two

They can take your land and cotton, all of Mississippi knows

They'll never take my memories of the Queen of Tupelo

 

She's the Queen of Tupelo, Queen of Tupelo

She lives up in a tower down the Old Salitillo Road

 

She's the Queen of Tupelo, Queen of Tupelo

She lives up in a tower down the Old Salitillo Road
