Lyrics
Mississippi
Well I was born just a poor boy
Down south in Mississippi
Work’n in the cotton fields
Sun up baby to down
But I never had a dollar
That I didn’t share with someone
Well everyone wants to be a star
In their own way
I gotta get out of these cotton fields
To play
But when I went to the city
This is what they told me
They said, they said, they said
Chorus
Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
Why don’t you go back home
Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
Why don’t you leave it alone
Well you can’t play in the city
Go back to where you belong
I went back home
And I thought about it for awhile
Why should I let those city boy’s
Cramp my style
Chorus
Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
Why don’t you go back home
Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
Why don’t you leave it alone
Well you can’t play in the city
Go back to where you belong
I decided to stay at home
And play me songs
Deep in my heart I knew
It was where I belong
So screw the city
And this is what they told me
They said, they said, they said
Chorus
Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
Why don’t you go back home
Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
Why don’t you leave it alone
Well you can’t play in the city
Go back to where you belong
I decided to stay at home
And play my songs
Deep in my heart
I knew it was where I belong
So screw the city
I’m going back to where
You once belong
