In the Mississippi River
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
In the Mississippi River
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
In the Mississippi River
Well, you can count them one by one
It could be your son
Well, you can count them two by two
It could be me or you
Well, you can count them three by three
Do you wanna see?
Well, you can count them four by four
Oh, well-a into the river they go
Oh, well-a into the river they go
Well, you can count them five by five
With their hands tied
And they don’t come out alive
And their feet tied
And you can count them six by six
Holes throughout the body
In Mississippi, they got it fixed
Like Goodman
And you can count them seven by seven
Like Schwerner
The Mississippi River sure ain’t heaven
And Chaney
And you can count them eight
And they are gone because of hate
And you can count them nine by nine
In Mississippi this ain’t no crime
And you can count them ten by ten
And we wonder when the right will win
In the Mississippi River
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
In the Mississippi River
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
In the Mississippi River
We’re going stop them from going in the river
We’re going stop them from going in the river
With their heads cut off
Tied by their hands
Tied by their feet
