I was
Down In Mississippi
Down on the ground in Mississippi
Stuck in the muck of Mississippi
I was down
Deep down, so low
I've been lonely now, baby
I've been lonely now, child
I was dyin' in the darkness
It's been a long and lonely time
So I was Down
I'm talkin' Down
In Mississippi

She broke my heart in Mississippi
I fell apart in Mississippi
Lost my mind in Mongeroli
Nearly died and lost my soul
'Cause I was Down
And I mean Down
In Mississippi

Have you been lonely now, people
Yeah, I mean you down the road
Lonely, my baby
All my friends and my foes
Have you been lonely now, woman
Oh, wo, wo, wo, wo, woah

I was Down In Mississippi
Bound to drown in Mississippi
While I sunk down into sorrow
I stopped believin' in tomorrow
I was Down
So stop and let me shout how I've been down, ya'll
In Mississippi

Don't mean to dis ya, Mississippi
Lord knows I miss ya, Mississippi
Still gonna see ya, Mississippi
You know I love ya, Mississippi
And I'll be back, back, back, back, back around
In Mississippi

I'll see ya around, baby
