Lyrics:

[Chorus:]
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Way down

As far back as I can remember
I either had to plow or hoe
One of them long ol’ nine feet sacks
Standin’ at the old turn row

[Chorus:]
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Way down

Nothin' I got against Mississippi
It also was the home of my wife
But I feel just like a lucky man
To get away with my life

[Chorus:]
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Way down
Way down

They had a huntin’ season on the rabbit
If you shoot him, you went to jail
The season was always open on me
Nobody need no bail

[Chorus:]
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Way down
In Mississippi, ya'll
Way down
Spend a long time, all night and all day
Down
In Mississippi
Down
Everybody gonna come to Mississippi, ya'll
Down
Way down
Way down
Way down
Work on the state a long time
Way down
