Eden Brent - Mississippi Number One

Mississippi Flatland Blues

It was early in the morning
I was almost out the door
Got a call from my bossman
Said, "I cannot use you no more"
Got the Washington County
Factory done shut down blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues

So I went out to Boeing
I thought I'd be flying high
They shut down and sold the parts
And left me high and dry
I got the Washington County
Factory done shut down blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues

I got a job at Vlasic
Puttin' pickles in a jar
But they shut down and GMAC
Came and took my car
Got the Washington County
Factory done shut down blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues

Cocaine took my fella
The banker took my home
The streets have got my children
And I'm sitting here alone
With the Washington County
Factory done shut down blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues

I'm so blue and downhearted
Almost lost my will
Even thought of suicide
I ain't fit to kill
I got the Washington County
Factory done shut down blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues

If the C & G makes enough money
Fix their worn-out track
Gonna hop a freight train
I swear I ain't never coming back
To Washington County
Oh the factory done shut down blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues
Ain't no good news
I got the Mississippi flatland blues
