Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)[00:00:00]

Written by：Nina Simone[00:00:00]

The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam[00:00:04]

And I mean every word of it[00:00:14]

Alabama's gotten me so upset[00:00:19]

Tennessee made me lose my rest[00:00:22]

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:00:25]

Alabama's gotten me so upset[00:00:31]

Tennessee made me lose my rest[00:00:34]

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:00:37]

Can't you see it[00:00:43]

Can't you feel it[00:00:45]

It's all in the air[00:00:46]

I can't stand the pressure much longer[00:00:49]

Somebody say a prayer[00:00:53]

Alabama's gotten me so upset[00:00:56]

Tennessee made me lose my rest[00:00:59]

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:01:02]

This is a show tune[00:01:09]

But the show hasn't been written for it yet[00:01:10]

Hound dogs on my trail[00:01:20]

School children sitting in jail[00:01:23]

Black cat cross my path[00:01:26]

I think every day's gonna be my last[00:01:29]

Lord have mercy on this land of mine[00:01:38]

We all gonna get it in due time[00:01:41]

I don't belong here[00:01:44]

I don't belong there[00:01:46]

I've even stopped believing in prayer[00:01:47]

Don't tell me[00:01:57]

I tell you[00:01:58]

Me and my people just about due[00:02:00]

I've been there so I know[00:02:03]

They keep on saying "Go slow "[00:02:06]

But that's just the trouble[00:02:15]

"do it slow"[00:02:17]

Washing the windows[00:02:18]

"do it slow"[00:02:20]

Picking the cotton[00:02:21]

"do it slow"[00:02:23]

You're just plain rotten[00:02:24]

"do it slow"[00:02:26]

You're too damn lazy[00:02:27]

"do it slow"[00:02:29]

The thinking's crazy[00:02:30]

"do it slow"[00:02:32]

Where am I going[00:02:33]

What am I doing[00:02:35]

I don't know[00:02:36]

I don't know[00:02:38]

Just try to do your very best[00:02:40]

Stand up be counted with all the rest[00:02:42]

For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:02:45]

I made you thought I was kiddin' didn't we[00:02:54]

Picket lines[00:03:00]

School boycotts[00:03:02]

They try to say it's a communist plot[00:03:03]

All I want is equality[00:03:06]

For my sister my brother my people and me[00:03:09]

Yes you lied to me all these years[00:03:18]

You told me to wash and clean my ears[00:03:21]

And talk real fine just like a lady[00:03:24]

And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie[00:03:27]

Oh but this whole country is full of lies[00:03:36]

You're all gonna die and die like flies[00:03:39]

I don't trust you any more[00:03:43]

You keep on saying "Go slow "[00:03:45]

"Go slow "[00:03:51]

But that's just the trouble[00:03:54]

"do it slow"[00:03:56]

Desegregation[00:03:57]

"do it slow"[00:03:59]

Mass participation[00:04:00]

"do it slow"[00:04:02]

Reunification[00:04:03]

"do it slow"[00:04:05]

Do things gradually[00:04:06]

"do it slow"[00:04:08]

But bring more tragedy[00:04:09]

"do it slow"[00:04:12]

Why don't you see it[00:04:12]

Why don't you feel it[00:04:14]

I don't know[00:04:15]

I don't know[00:04:17]

You don't have to live next to me[00:04:18]

Just give me my equality[00:04:21]

Everybody knows about Mississippi[00:04:24]

Everybody knows about Alabama[00:04:27]

Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:04:30]

That's it[00:04:38]
