As far back as I can remember
I hate to have to plow or hoe
One of those long nine-feet sacs
Standing by that old dirt road
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
I got nothing against Mississippi
Also was the home of my wife
But I feel just like I'm 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
They have a hunting season for the rabbit
If you k**ed them you went to jail
Season was always opened on me
Nobody needed no veil
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down in Mississippi (down in Mississippi)
Down in Mississippi (down in Mississippi)
(Down in Mississippi) down in Mississippi
(Down, down, down) down in Mississippi
