lyrics

Mississippi

To know Mississippi is the understand the world
This child of calamity
This flag left unfurled
One day I know that her struggle will end
But today I can’t say
What I will portend
Dark days
Dark nights
Lest you lay down your torches
And turn on your lights
Your day is coming as sure as can be
So stop all your running and come home to see
Mississippi

The Delta’s gonna shine like a National guitar
To forgive is divine
So lower your bars
Give yourself a treat, it’s that home you once loved
Go on and plant your feet
in that Mississippi mud
You grandfather’s graves
are calling you home
The flowers you saved
Are left all alone
The Blues are growing slow under a Magnolia tree
So stop all your running
Come home to see
Mississippi
