Mississippi Bottom Blues Songtext
von Kid Bailey

Way down in Mississippi where I was bred and born
Believe that will forever be my native home

And my poor mother′s old, her hair is turning grey
And my poor mother's old, her hair is turning grey
I know it would break her heart if she found out I was barrelhousing this a-way


And I′m going where the water drink like wine
I'm going where the water drink like wine
Where I can be drunk and staggering all the time

Ain't but the one thing now, Lord, it worries my mind
Ain′t but the one thing now, Lord, it worries my mind
That′s a house full of women, Lord, ain't none of them mine

And my baby passed me and she never said a word
And my baby passed me and she never said a word
Nothing I had did but ′twas something she had heard
