Down In Mississippi Lyrics

North Mississippi Allstars Down In Mississippi

Far back as I can remember
Either had to plow or
Carry that ole full sack
Down to the old turn road
Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down in Mississippi where I belong
Way down!

They have a hunting season on the rabbit
Shoot him, boy, and you’re sure gonna go to jail
Hunting season is always open on men
Nobody needs no bail
Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down in Mississippi where I belong
Way down!

Ain't nothing I got against Mississippi
Also is the home of my wife
You know I feel just like a lucky man
Get away with my life
Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Down in Mississippi where I belong
Way down!
