Story behind the song
Moved to Mississippi about 5 years ago. I could never be happy in any other state. I love and live and breath the Blues. Mississippi IS the state for me.
Lyrics
Down in Mississippi Where cotton grows tall. You get arrested for trouble They gonna call the huntin' dogs Cuz your down in Mississippi Where cotton grows tall On the the other hand Bo weevils down here Wear overalls Go to work in the mornin', you know At the crow of the cock If that mule don't holler well, I don't know when to stop Cuz I'm down in Mississippi I sure ain't in Kansas anymore On there other hand babe Bo weevils down here where overalls (spoken 'Let me tell you about it') instrumental once around Go to church in mornin' you know, Down the railroad tracks Later over in the evenin' Bring the preacher back Well he eats up all the chicken right up to the neck Look over at my sweet little Brenda Kaye And he eats up all the rest Cuz we were down in Mississippi Suckin' on boiled peanuts and drinkin' sweet tea On the the other hand babe, Living down here in Mississippi sure enough is all right with me. (spoken 'Let me tell you about it') instrumental once around Down in Mississippi where, where Little Charlie lives. I got the blues in my soul, I got some blues music to give. Cuz I'm down in Mississippi I ain't in Wyandotte county Kansas anymore On the other hand, I ain't movin' around now anymore.
