Paroles
0:15As far back as I can remember
0:21I either had a plow or hoe
0:26One of those 'ole nine foot sacs
0:31Standing at the old turn row
0:36Down in Mississippi
0:41Down in Mississippi
0:46Down in Mississippi where I was born
0:51Down in Mississippi where I come from
1:07They had a hunting season on the rabbit
1:13If you shoot em you went to jail
1:18Season was a always open on me
1:23Nobody needed no band
1:29Down in Mississippi
1:33Down in Mississippi
1:38Down in Mississippi where I was born
1:43Down in Mississippi where I come from
1:59I remember I use to walk down that gravel road walking with my grandma
2:09Mississippi sun beaming down
2:15I went to get some water
2:18My grandma said young 'un you can't drink that water
2:24She said you drink from that fountain over there heha
2:31And that fountain had a sign
2:36Said for color only
2:41I was so glad I had my grandma and my papa a huh
2:48And I wont leave you out grandpa
