[Verse 1:] As far back as I can remember* I either had a plow or hoe One of those 'ole nine foot sacs Standing at the old turn row
[Chorus:] Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi Down in Mississippi where I was born Down in Mississippi where i come from
[Verse 2:] They had a hunting season on the rabbit If you shoot em you went to jail Season was a always open on men Nobody needed no bail
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Verse 3:] I remember, I use to walk down that gravel road, walking with my grandma, Mississippi sun, beaming down I went to get some water
My grandma said, young 'un you can't drink that water, she said you drink from that fountain over there, heha and that fountain had a sign said for color only I was so glad I had my grandma and my papa, a huh, and I wont leave you out grandpa My grandpa was so pround of me yall I went down in forest Mississippi one time na, didn't know no better, but i intergrated, a washa terrier, He was telling everybody, my grandbaby mavis, she went up to washa terrier, and washed some clothes, and all the black ladies fallowed her on up in there, I'm proud of my grandbaby, I saw many more of those signs as i lived in mississippi, I'm so glad I can say that I saw everyone of those signs, Dr. King saw that everyone of those signs got taken down, down in Mississippi
[Repeat Chorus:]
