Paroles de Mississippi Mud

I remember breaking ground When the earth was bone dry Daily swim Underneath that blaze and delta sky You put your seeds in the ground And pray for rain All for the chance To do it all again It's in my soul, and in my blood That old Mississippi mud I found out early You gotta stay behind the mule I've learned things in the field I did never learn'd in school Oh lord listen, oh lord I can't understand You cry so hard That the cotton's get in your knees It's in my soul, and in my blood That old Mississippi mud When I got to Chicago I learned the city ways But I keep in me some Mississippi In everything I play I knew a man in muddy He does some crying too Took me in like a brother And we made up some country blues It's in my soul, and in my blood Yeah, that old, Mississippi mud You don't know what I'm talking about Yeah, it's in my soul, and it's in my blood, listen That old Mississippi mud
