1
I'm going down to mississipi
2
I'm going down a southern road
3
And if you never see me again
4
Remember that I had to go
5
Remember that I had to go
6
It's a long road down to mississipi
7
It's a short road back the other way
8
If the cops pull you over to the side of the road
9
You won't have nothing to say
10
No, you won't have nothing to say
11
There's a man waiting down in mississippi
12
And he's waiting with a rifle in his hand
13
And he's looking down the road for an out-of-state car
14
And he thinks he's fighting for his land
15
Yes, he thinks he's fighting for his land
16
And he won't know the clothes I'm wearing
17
And he doesn't know the name that I own
18
But his gun is large and his hate is hard
19
And he knows I'm coming down the road
20
Yes, he knows I'm coming down the road
21
It's not for the glory that I'm leaving
22
It's not trouble that I'm looking for
23
But there's lots of good work calling me down
24
And the waiting won't do no more
25
No, the waiting won't do no more
26
Don't call me the brave one for going
27
No, don't pin a medal to my name
28
For even if there was any choice to make
29
I'd be going down just the same
30
I'd be going down just the same
31
For someone's got to go to mississipi
32
Just as sure as there's a right and there's a wrong
33
Even though you say the time will change
34
That time is just too long
35
That time is just too long
36
So I'm going down to mississipi
37
I'm going down a southern road
38
And if you never see me again
39
Remember that I had to go
40
Remember that I had to go
