Ray Wylie Hubbard Mississippi John Hurt (feat. Pam Tillis)
[Chorus]
Mississippi John Hurt, he's laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt, he's laid his burden down
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
[Verse 1]
Mississippi John Hurt, he heals me when he sings
Mississippi John Hurt, he heals me when he sings
He thumped that Stella guitar like a wild bird flap her wings
Mississippi John Hurt, he sang about the candy man
Mississippi John Hurt, he sang about the candy man
His voice is sweet as bacon, sizzle in the fryin' pan
[Chorus]
Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt done laid his burden down
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
[Verse 2]
Mississippi John Hurt's voice, smooth as spinach moss
Mississippi John Hurt's voice, smooth as spinach moss
Was a hard-workin' man, was washed in the blood of the cross
[Chorus]
Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt done laid his burden down
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
[Outro]
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
