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

I don't belong there
