J.B. Lenoir - Blues Classics: J.B. Lenoir

Down in Mississippi

Far as back as I can remember
I either had to plough or hoe
One of those long old nine feet sacks
Standin' 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

Nothing I got against Mississippi
Is also was the home of my wife
But I feel just like I'm a lucky man
Get away with my life

Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from

They had a huntin' season on a rabbit
If you shoot him you went to jail
The season was 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
