Missin’ Mississippi

Lyrics

Momma and daddy raisin' cotton and kids Where the Mississippi River rolls Plantin' our dreams in that black delta dirt Choppin' out another tomorrow A sharecropper's shack in a hot cotton patch Was home sweet home to me And I would't take a mansion in trade For my Mississippi memories Oh I'm missin' Mississippi Miss that misty delta dawn Oh I'm missin' Mississippi Oh I miss my Mississippi home Now the kids have grown up and momma's passed on And daddy's age is startin' to show Things have changed there's a big four lane Where the delta cotton used to grow But time hasn't touched my daddy's love For his hard workin' sharecropper's wife Cause I've overheard his soft tender words When he talks to her picture at night Oh I'm missin' Mississippi Miss that misty delta dawn Oh I'm missin' Mississippi Oh I miss my Mississippi home Oh I miss my Mississippi home
