Tom Whalley - Down In Mississippi lyrics

Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi where I was born Down in Mississippi where I come from Way down As far back as I can remember I either had to plow or hoe One of them 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 Way down Nothin' I got against Mississippi It also was the home of my wife But I feel just like a lucky man

To 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 Way down They had a huntin' season on the rabbit If you shoot him you went to jail The season was always open on me Nobody need no bail Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi where I was born Down in Mississippi where I come from Way down Way down
