Home to Mississippi

You know I'm going back home
I gotta go
I got a poor little wife and two kids

Well I'm going to Mississippi
Mississippi here I come
Well I'm going to Mississippi
Here I come
Back up on mister Charlies Farm

Well I'm going to Mississippi
Where I was bred and born
Well I'm going to Mississippi
Where I was bred and born
Well I'm going to Mississippi
Where I came from

Lord when I left there
My poor raggedy kids running around the house
I knew I wasn't wrong
But that wife didn't understand me

Well I'm going to Mississippi
Buy me a house and home
Well I'm going to Mississippi
Buy a house and home
Well I'm going to Mississippi
That's where I came from

Well I wiped out Mississippi
Well I'm going to Mississippi
I wiped out Mississippi
Well I'm goin to Mississippi
I got a lovely woman down there
I'm going back home

I walked 44 miles to Pittsburgh
22 Miles of stone
44 miles to Pittsburgh
22 miles of stone
Pittsburgh sits on the high hell
Jackson is below
Pittsburgh sits on the high heel
Jackson is below
Well I'm going to Mississippi
I won't be back no more
