Mississippi, You've been on my mind, Like a mist in the morning, From some dream I've left behind. Mississippi, I've been kinda down, 'Cause it's been such a long time Since I've seen old Jackson town. I could be on the other side of the world, But in my memory, all I can see Is Spanish moss hangin' from a live oak tree. Mississippi, Save a place for me; I'll be comin' home again [comin' home again], Mississippi, until then [until then] You'll be on my mind. I'll be comin' home again, Mississippi, until then, You'll be on my mind.
