Down In Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Way down, way down
As far back as I can remember
I either had a plow or hoe
One of those 'ole nine foot sacs
Standing at the old turn row
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Listen, they had a hunting season on the rabbit
If you shoot him you went to jail
Season was a always open on me
Nobody needed no bail
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
I remember, I used to walk down that gravel road
Walking with my grandma
Mississippi sun, beaming down
I went to get some water
My grandma said, young 'un you can't drink that water
She said you drink from that fountain over there, heha
And that fountain had a sign
Said for color only
I was so glad I had my grandma
And I'm so glad I can say that I saw everyone of those signs
Dr. King saw that everyone of those signs was taken down, yeah
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down, down in Mississippi
Down, down, down in Mississippi
Down, down, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Way down, way down
As far back as I can remember
I either had a plow or hoe
One of those 'ole nine foot sacs
Standing at the old turn row
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Listen, they had a hunting season on the rabbit
If you shoot him you went to jail
Season was a always open on me
Nobody needed no bail
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
I remember, I used to walk down that gravel road
Walking with my grandma
Mississippi sun, beaming down
I went to get some water
My grandma said, young 'un you can't drink that water
She said you drink from that fountain over there, heha
And that fountain had a sign
Said for color only
I was so glad I had my grandma
And I'm so glad I can say that I saw everyone of those signs
Dr. King saw that everyone of those signs was taken down, yeah
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down, down in Mississippi
Down, down, down in Mississippi
Down, down, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
