Down In Mississippi

by Pops Staples

on Peace To The Neighborhood (1992)

Far back as I can remember
Either had to plow or hoe
That old long 9-loot cotton sack
Standing at the old turn row

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

I got nothing against Mississippi
Also the home of my wile
I feel just like a lucky man
Get away with my life

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

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

They had a hunting season on the rabbit
If you shoot him you go to jail
The season was always open on me
Nobody needed no bail

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

Take it, take it, take it
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
