Searching for Skip James
The year was 1964
America found itself at war
Civil Rights and Voting Acts came
Doctor King praise his name
The slave ships to the Jim Crow floor
The devil mighta, coulda, hadda been here before
We were three white boys looking for blues
The Ku Klux Klan were all over the news

Ooh Mississippi

Beyond the magnolia planes
We came searching for Skip James
Right along the murdering planes
We came searching for Skip James

In a hospital down in Tunica way
Bedridden with cancer Skip James lay
For over thirty years he had disappeared
It's Hard Time Killing Floor blues down here
Those cotton field songs last forever
When the blues and the soul come together
The same day we travelled down south
Three white boys were looking for Son House

Ooh Mississippi

Beyond the magnolia planes
We came searching for Skip James
Right along the murdering planes
We came searching for Skip James
