The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam<br />And I mean every word of it<br /><br />Alabama's gotten me so upset<br />Tennessee made me lose my rest<br />And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br /><br />Alabama's gotten me so upset<br />Tennessee made me lose my rest<br />And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br /><br />Can't you see it<br />Can't you feel it<br />It's all in the air<br />I can't stand the pressure much longer<br />Somebody say a prayer<br /><br />Alabama's gotten me so upset<br />Tennessee made me lose my rest<br />And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br /><br />This is a show tune<br />But the show hasn't been written for it, yet<br /><br />Hound dogs on my trail<br />School children sitting in jail<br />Black cat cross my path<br />I think every day's gonna be my last<br /><br />Lord have mercy on this land of mine<br />We all gonna get it in due time<br />I don't belong here<br />I don't belong there<br />I've even stopped believing in prayer<br /><br />Don't tell me<br />I tell you<br />Me and my people just about due<br />I've been there so I know<br />They keep on saying "Go slow!"<br /><br />But that's just the trouble<br />"do it slow"<br />Washing the windows<br />"do it slow"<br />Picking the cotton<br />"do it slow"<br />You're just plain rotten<br />"do it slow"<br />You're too damn lazy<br />"do it slow"<br />The thinking's crazy<br />"do it slow"<br />Where am I going<br />What am I doing<br />I don't know<br />I don't know<br /><br />Just try to do your very best<br />Stand up be counted with all the rest<br />For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br /><br />I made you thought I was kiddin' didn't we<br /><br />Picket lines<br />School boycotts<br />They try to say it's a communist plot<br />All I want is equality<br />for my sister my brother my people and me<br /><br />Yes you lied to me all these years<br />You told me to wash and clean my ears<br />And talk real fine just like a lady<br />And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie<br /><br />Oh but this whole country is full of lies<br />You're all gonna die and die like flies<br />I don't trust you any more<br />You keep on saying "Go slow!"<br />"Go slow!"<br /><br />But that's just the trouble<br />"do it slow"<br />Desegregation<br />"do it slow"<br />Mass participation<br />"do it slow"<br />Reunification<br />"do it slow"<br />Do things gradually<br />"do it slow"<br />But bring more tragedy<br />"do it slow"<br />Why don't you see it<br />Why don't you feel it<br />I don't know<br />I don't know<br /><br />You don't have to live next to me<br />Just give me my equality<br />Everybody knows about Mississippi<br />Everybody knows about Alabama<br />Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br /><br />That's it!
