11. Way Down in Mississippi
I actually wrote the lyrics for this 3-4 years ago. It was supposed to be an acoustic, delta type blues song. However, I found an electric standard I-IV-V backing track and re-did it. Added a new verse to make it fresh. (Lyrics: Emmrich, Music: Emmri
FDP Jam Tracks
This band page is going to be used for all of the jam tracks that have been posted by the FDP users at the "Home Recording" section at FenderForum.com. Check it out. Folks lay down basic bass/drums/guitar/effect tracks and allow users to add guitar and other parts. Pretty cool.

Way down, way down Mississippi way
I said, Way down, way down Mississippi way
Got in a little trouble
Had to leave this town today
Little Girl, Little Girl
Why d’ya have to treat me this a way
I said Little Girl, Little Girl
Why d’ya have to treat me this a way
Running all over town
Had to put you in that ground today
Mama, Mama Don’t you cry for me
Mama, Mama, Mama Don’t you cry for me
I got myself into this jam
I’ll get out, just wait and see
Way down, way down in Mississippi way
Way, way down, way down in Mississippi way
Got in a little trouble
Had to leave this town today
