Lyrics:
"Mississippi Mama"
Verse 1
Mister Johnny Law oh he's on my trail, I got an hour or two at most
And I won't let up till I lose my tail I'm gunnin' down for the gulf coast
Verse II
Big bad Johnny he's chasin' me for throwin' water up on his fire
He's coming for all deserters, all the rebel leaders and you'll be next if he desires
Chorus
Mississippi Mama sing us sweet sweet songs of freedom
And rock me on gently for your mighty mouth
I said and did it all, but nah I ain't committed no crime
Mississippi Mama won't cha rock me down your line
Verse III
Paddling with a log through the dense thick fog I stopped and tip-toed on the banks
A gypsy woman took me in, yea she fed me love and helped me slip right through Johnny's ranks
Chorus II
Mississippi Mama sing us sweet sweet songs of freedom
And rock me on gently for your mighty mouth
I said and did it all, but nah I ain't committed no crime
Mississippi Mama won't cha rock me down your line
Bridge
They're gunnin' for my head
Tryin' to lay me dead
They'd like to shoot me down right where they find me
Watchin' from the sky with an all seeing eye
Hiding behind our lady of justice
Slave trading liberty, calling it security
That poison pill's gonna kill our republic
And I ain't the only one Johnny's got under his gun
So my brothers, sister, friends we keep pushin' on the run
Breakdown
I ain't for sale and my soul is free, they can't divide or conquer me
I ain't for sale and my soul is free, they can't divide or conquer me
These eyes are open no I ain't no sheep, they can't control or conquer me
I ain't for sale and my soul is free
They can't divide or conquer me
Final Chorus
Mississippi Mama sing us sweet sweet songs of freedom
(Mississippi Mama won’t cha rock me down the line)
And rock me on gently for your mighty mouth
I said and did it all, but nah I ain't committed no crime
(Mississippi Mama sing us sweet sweet songs of freedom … Whoa Mississippi)
Mississippi Mama won't cha rock me down your line
(Whoa Mama, whoa whoa Mama …)
Mississippi Mama won't cha rock me down your line
(Whoa Mama, whoa whoa Mama Mama …)
Mississippi Mama won't cha rock me down your line
Down your line …
Outro
Down the line
Down the line ah yea (whoa Mississippi)
I see you down the line oh (whoa whoa Mama)
Down the line (Mississippi)
That’s right Mississippi Mama
