Down in Mississippy, back in Nineteen Eighty Two
I've been down there with The Boogieman, just to play some...
In Misssissippy, stayed in Memphis, Tennessee
Play in the cotton fields, was such a site to see
I was young, how was I to know, People
Someday that it would be so
Down in Mississippy, nothing else to do
Playin' in cotton fields, legends of the blues
It was Sam Chapman, Sam Miles, Pops and Mavis too
Albert King and Bobby Blue Bland, all ....
John Lee Hooker hit the stage, it was out control
One of Missiisspy's favorite sons, it was back in ...
I was young, how was I to know
Someday people that it would be so
Down in Mississippy, nothing else to do
Playin in cotton fields, legends of the blues
Down in Mississippy, there's some jammin' goin' on
With the greatest bluesmen, that you ever laid eyes on
There's much to learn and understand
People somethings you never know
Down in Mississippy, where the roots of music flow
I was young, how was I to know
Someday that it would be so
I was down in Mississippy, nothing else to do
Playin in cotton fields, legends of the blues
Legends of the blues
Legends of the blues
