Down in Mississippi |
| Far back’s I can remember |
| Either had to plow or hoe |
| One of those long ol' 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… |
| 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. |
| Nothing I got ‘gainst Mississippi, |
| It also was the home of my wife. |
| But I count myself a lucky man |
| Just to get away with my life. |
