Going Down To Mississipi
I'm going down to Mississip
I'm going down a southern roa
And if you never see me agai
Remember that I had to g
Remember that I had to g
It's a long road down to Mississip
It's a short road back the other wa
If the cops pull you over to the side of the roa
You won't have nothing to sa
No, you won't have nothing to sa
There's a man waiting down in Mississipp
And he's waiting with a rifle in his han
And he's looking down the road for an out-of-state ca
And he thinks he's fighting for his lan
Yes, he thinks he's fighting for his lan
And he won't know the clothes I'm wearin
And he doesn't know the name that I ow
But his gun is large and his hate is har
And he knows I'm coming down the roa
Yes, he knows I'm coming down the roa
It's not for the glory that I'm leavin
It's not trouble that I'm looking fo
But there's lots of good work calling me dow
And The waiting won't do no mor
No, The waiting won't do no mor
Don't call me the brave one for goin
No, don't pin a medal to my nam
For even if there was any choice to mak
I'd be going down just the sam
I'd be going down just the sam
For someone's got to go to mississip
Just as sure as there's a right and there's a wron
Even though you say the time will chang
That time is just too lon
That time is just too lon
So I'm going down to Mississip
I'm going down a southern roa
And if you never see me agai
Remember that I had to g
Remember that I had to go
