Down In Mississippi Lyrics

I was

Down In Mississippi

Down on the ground in Mississippi

Stuck in the muck of Mississippi

I was down

Deep down, so low

I've been lonely now, baby

I've been lonely now, child

I was dyin' in the darkness

It's been a long and lonely time

So I was Down

I'm talkin' Down

In Mississippi

She broke my heart in Mississippi

I fell apart in Mississippi

Lost my mind in Mongeroli

Nearly died and lost my soul

'Cause I was Down

And I mean Down

In Mississippi

Have you been lonely now, people

Yeah, I mean you down the road

Lonely, my baby

All my friends and my foes

Have you been lonely now, woman

Oh, wo, wo, wo, wo, woah

I was Down In Mississippi

Bound to drown in Mississippi

While I sunk down into sorrow

I stopped believin' in tomorrow

I was Down

So stop and let me shout how I've been down, ya'll

In Mississippi

Don't mean to dis ya, Mississippi

Lord knows I miss ya, Mississippi

Still gonna see ya, Mississippi

You know I love ya, Mississippi

And I'll be back, back, back, back, back around

In Mississippi

I'll see ya around, baby
