Down In Mississippi Lyrics

Madisen Ward & The Mama Bear Down In Mississippi

[Madisen]
Way down in Mississippi
Way down where the leaves won't grow
The blackbirds call themselves big crows
All the laws made by Jim Crow
Way down in Mississippi

[Mama Bear]
Way down in Mississippi
Did you feel that heat today
Sores are on my feet today
Sour's not as sweet today
Way down in Mississippi

[Madisen]
Way down in Mississippi
The moonshine tells a tale or two
The old man rides the rails at noon
The bad man finds a jail to use
Way down in Mississippi

[Mama Bear]
Way down in Mississippi
The steamboat just rolled in today
Where all the catfish like to stay
The jazz man has a place to play
Way down in Mississippi

[Madisen]
Way down in Mississippi
The dirt road calls my name again
The dogs are acting strange again
Home is on the range again
Way down in Mississippi

[Mama Bear]
Way down in Mississippi
Cotton fields are filled with white
You don't have to steal tonight
Here you'll find a meal tonight
Way down in Mississippi

[Madisen Mama Bear]
Way down in Mississippi
Way down where the leaves won't grow
The blackbirds call themselves big crows
All the laws made by Jim Crow
Way down in Mississippi

[Madisen Mama Bear]
Way down in Mississippi
Did you feel that heat today
Sores are on my feet today
Sour's not as sweet today
Way down, way down, in Mississippi
Way down, way down, in Mississippi
