Down In Mississippi - Mavis Staples (玛维丝·史黛波)[00:00:00]

Written by：J.B. Lenoir[00:00:00]

As far back as I can remember[00:00:15]

I either had a plow or hoe[00:00:21]

One of those 'ole nine foot sacs[00:00:26]

Standing at the old turn row[00:00:31]

Down in Mississippi[00:00:36]

Down in Mississippi[00:00:41]

Down in Mississippi where I was born[00:00:46]

Down in Mississippi where I come from[00:00:51]

They had a hunting season on the rabbit[00:01:07]

If you shoot em you went to jail[00:01:13]

Season was a always open on me[00:01:18]

Nobody needed no band[00:01:23]

Down in Mississippi[00:01:29]

Down in Mississippi[00:01:33]

Down in Mississippi where I was born[00:01:38]

Down in Mississippi where I come from[00:01:43]

I remember I use to walk down that gravel road walking with my grandma [00:01:59]

Mississippi sun beaming down[00:02:09]

I went to get some water[00:02:15]

My grandma said young 'un you can't drink that water [00:02:18]

She said you drink from that fountain over there heha[00:02:24]

And that fountain had a sign[00:02:31]

Said for color only[00:02:36]

I was so glad I had my grandma and my papa a huh [00:02:41]

And I wont leave you out grandpa[00:02:48]

My grandpa was so proud of me y'all[00:02:51]

I went down in forest Mississippi one time na [00:02:54]

Didn't know no better but I integrated [00:02:58]

Awasha terrier [00:03:02]

He was telling everybody my grandbaby mavis [00:03:05]

She went up to washa terrier and washed some clothes [00:03:10]

And all the black ladies fallowed her on up in there [00:03:15]

I'm proud of my grand baby [00:03:22]

I saw many more of those signs as I lived in Mississippi [00:03:25]

I'm so glad I can say that I saw everyone of those signs [00:03:33]

Dr King saw that everyone of those signs got taken down [00:03:43]

Down in Mississippi[00:03:49]

Down in Mississippi[00:03:58]

Down in Mississippi where I come from[00:04:03]

Down in Mississippi where I was born[00:04:08]
