Текст Larkin Poe – Mississippi

Down in the kingdom
The devil’s due
Sunup ’til sundown
That plow’s pulling you

Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery
Pain and misery
I got pain and misery
Going down to Mississippi

Devil on my shoulder
Helping me choose
I’m crossing over
I’m pulling up my roots
Off to the crossroads
Ain’t much to lose
I’ve got but one soul
To sell for the blues

Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery
Pain and misery

Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery
Pain and misery
I got pain and misery
Going down to Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery
Pain and misery
I got pain and misery
Going down to Mississippi
