  • (1963) nina simone
  • The name of this tune is mississippi goddam
  • And I mean every word of it
  • Alabamas gotten me so upset
  • Tennessee made me lose my rest
  • And everybody knows about mississippi goddam
  • Alabamas gotten me so upset
  • Tennessee made me lose my rest
  • And everybody knows about mississippi goddam
  • Cant you see it
  • Cant you feel it
  • Its all in the air
  • I cant stand the pressure much longer
  • Somebody say a prayer
  • Alabamas gotten me so upset
  • Tennessee made me lose my rest
  • And everybody knows about mississippi goddam
  • This is a show tune
  • But the show hasnt been written for it, yet
  • Hound dogs on my trail
  • School children sitting in jail
  • Black cat cross my path
  • I think every days gonna be my last
  • Lord have mercy on this land of mine
  • We all gonna get it in due time
  • I dont belong here
  • I dont belong there
  • Ive even stopped believing in prayer
  • Dont tell me
  • I tell you
  • Me and my people just about due
  • Ive been there so I know
  • They keep on saying go slow!
  • But thats just the trouble
  • Do it slow
  • Washing the windows
  • Do it slow
  • Picking the cotton
  • Do it slow
  • Youre just plain rotten
  • Do it slow
  • Youre too damn lazy
  • Do it slow
  • The thinkings crazy
  • Do it slow
  • Where am I going
  • What am I doing
  • I dont know
  • I dont know
  • Just try to do your very best
  • Stand up be counted with all the rest
  • For everybody knows about mississippi goddam
  • I made you thought I was kiddin didnt we
  • Picket lines
  • School boy cots
  • They try to say its a communist plot
  • All I want is equality
  • For my sister my brother my people and me
  • Yes you lied to me all these years
  • You told me to wash and clean my ears
  • And talk real fine just like a lady
  • And youd stop calling me sister sadie
  • Oh but this whole country is full of lies
  • Youre all gonna die and die like flies
  • I dont trust you any more
  • You keep on saying go slow!
  • Go slow!
  • But thats just the trouble
  • Do it slow
  • Desegregation
  • Do it slow
  • Mass participation
  • Do it slow
  • Reunification
  • Do it slow
  • Do things gradually
  • Do it slow
  • But bring more tragedy
  • Do it slow
  • Why dont you see it
  • Why dont you feel it
  • I dont know
  • I dont know
  • You dont have to live next to me
  • Just give me my equality
  • Everybody knows about mississippi
  • Everybody knows about alabama
  • Everybody knows about mississippi goddam
  • Thats it!
