MISSISSIPPI DELTA CITY BLUES 
Terry Kath


I've got a smile 
That I put on 
When I'm not at home 
When I'm not alone. 

But it is so hard 
To make that smile 
'Cause I know I'll be at home 
And alone in a while 
And if I look in a mirror 
I see my eyes start to tear 
I can't help but cry 
Since you said goodbye 

I've got to hide 
Whhat I'm feelin' inside 
Can't let them see 
How you're hurtin' me. 

So I guess that's what I'll do 
Won't let them see through 
Won't let them know 
That you could hurt me so. 

I've got a laugh 
That I put on 
When I'm not at home 
When I'm not alone. 

But it is so hard 
To fake that laugh 
When my insides are cryin' 
And my heart's torn in half 
And all the music I hear 
And things I valued so dear 
Make me feel so blue 
They all remind me of you. 

(Now) What can I do 
(Now) That our love is through 
And my purpose is gone 
Still I got to live on. 

I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through 
I won't let them know 
That you could hurt me so.
