[Lyric] Mississippi (Larkin Poe)

Down in the kingdom
The devil's due
Sunup 'til sundown
That plow's pulling you

Off to the crossroads
Ain't much to lose
I've got but one soul
To sell for the blues

[Chorus]
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Goin' down to Mississippi
Pain and mis'ry
Pain and mis'ry
I got pain and mis'ry
Goin' down to Mississippi

Devil on my shoulder
Helping me choose
I'm crossing over
I'm pulling up my roots
Off to the crossroads
Ain't much to lose
I've got but one soul
To sell for the blues

[Chorus]
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Goin' down to Mississippi
Pain and mis'ry
Pain and mis'ry
I got pain and mis'ry
Goin' down to Mississippi
Pain and mis'ry
Pain and mis'ry
I got pain and mis'ry
Goin' down to Mississippi

[Instrumental Break]

Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Goin' down to Mississippi
Pain and mis'ry
Pain and mis'ry
I got pain and mis'ry
Goin' down to Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Goin' down to Mississippi
Pain and mis'ry
Pain and mis'ry
I got pain and mis'ry
Goin' down to Mississippi
