Hey Mississippi
Won't you sing me a song
That's where my heart belongs
Way down in the delta
Where the muddy Miss flows
Lord that's where the blues are from
The corn- in rows
The early calling crows
Rustle through the leaves
Tobacco on the breeze
Hey Mississippi
Won't you tell me a tale
You gotta tale I know
Long day pickin
In the hot July sun
Where the waves of cotton roll
Blood and tears- escaped
Live down in your ground
Broken hearts still ache
Make a lonesome sound
Hey Mississippi
I'm your number 1 fan
Just a broke and ragged soul
But you live on longer
Then that plantation man
Every time the blue note blow
Every time a blue note blow
Everytime
