oh but this whole country is full of lies
you don t have to live next to me
School boy cots, it s all in the air Nina, i don t know
it s all in the air
i don t trust you any more
You re just plain rotten, i don t know Goddamn, i made you thought i was kiddin
and everybody knows about mississippi goddam
Alabama s gotten me so upset, where am i going
I can t stand the pressure much longer, me and my people just about due
tennessee made me lose my rest
Tennessee made me lose my rest, just try to do your very best
For my sister my brother my people and me, lord have mercy on this land of mine
What am i doing, can t you see it Mississippi, and i mean every word of it
washing the windows
Hound dogs on my trail, this is a show tune, reunification
and everybody knows about mississippi goddam
Can t you feel it, you re all gonna die and die like flies, oh but this whole country is full of lies
I don t know, i don t belong there
The thinking s crazy, and i mean every word of it
School boy cots, picket lines, you re too damn lazy
i don t know
Washing the windows, school children sitting in jail, but that s just the trouble
Washing the windows, alabama s gotten me so upset
Everybody knows about mississippi, and talk real fine just like a lady
School boy cots, picket lines Mississippi, i don t belong there
And everybody knows about mississippi goddam, and everybody knows about mississippi goddam
Everybody knows about mississippi, and everybody knows about mississippi goddam, and i mean every word of it
i don t know
But bring more tragedy, all i want is equality
The name of this tune is mississippi goddam, i can t stand the pressure much longer
tennessee made me lose my rest
where am i going
And everybody knows about mississippi goddam, reunification
Oh but this whole country is full of lies, school children sitting in jail, desegregation
I don t know, black cat cross my path
They keep on saying go slow, and everybody knows about mississippi goddam, why don t you see it
Hound dogs on my trail, lord have mercy on this land of mine
Black cat cross my path, for my sister my brother my people and me Mississippi, but that s just the trouble
Everybody knows about alabama, stand up be counted with all the rest
alabama s gotten me so upset
desegregation
