Jimmy Reed Down In Mississippi Lyrics

Down In Mississippi Lyrics

Down in Mississippi where cotton grow tall, 

 get arrested for trouble you got to call the hound dog 

 Oh uh, down in Mississippi, whoa yeah, where the cotton grow tall 

 Yes, and on the other hand, baby, boll weevil wearing overalls 

  

 Go to work in the morning, you know, 'bout 4 o'clock 

 Uh, if the mule don't holler, yeah, I don't know when to stop 

 Down in Mississippi, baby, uh whoa yeah, where the cotton grow tall 

 Well, and on the other hand, baby, boll weevil wearing overalls 

  

 I go to church in the morning, baby, you know, down the railroad track 

 Late over in the evening they bring, bring the preacher back 

 He eat up all the chicken now but uh right to the neck 

 Look over at my baby and he eat up all the rest 'cause he was uh down in
Mississippi 

 Uh oh yeah, where the cotton grow tall 

 Well now, and on the other hand, baby, boll weevil wearing overalls
