(Verse 1)
As far back as I can remember,
I either had a plow or a hoe.
One of those long 'ole nine feet sacks,
Standing at the old turn row.

(Chorus)
Down in Mississippi (x2)
Down in Mississippi, where I was born,
Down in Mississippi, where I come from.

(Verse 2)
Nothing I got, against Mississippi,
It also was the home of my wife.
But I count myself a lucky man,
Just to get away, with my life.

(Chorus)
Down in Mississippi (x2)
Down in Mississippi, where I was born,
Down in Mississippi, where I come from.

(Verse 3)
They had a hunting season, on they rabbits,
If you shoot em, you went to jail.
The season was always open on me,
Nobody needing no bail.


(Chorus)
Down in Mississippi (x2)
Down in Mississippi, where I was born,
Down in Mississippi, where I come from.
