Mississippi Goddam (Unedited Version From Original Live Concert) - Nina Simone[00:00:00]

Alabama's gotten me so upset[00:01:29]

Tennessee made me lose my rest[00:01:33]

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:01:36]

Alabama's gotten me so upset[00:01:43]

Tennessee made me lose my rest[00:01:46]

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:01:49]

Can't you see it [00:01:55]

I know you can feel it [00:01:57]

It's all in the air[00:02:00]

I can't stand the pressure much longer[00:02:02]

Somebody say a prayer[00:02:06]

Alabama's gotten me so upset[00:02:10]

Tennessee made me lose my rest[00:02:12]

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:02:16]

Hound dogs on my trail[00:02:29]

The school children sitting in jail[00:02:32]

Black cat cross my path[00:02:36]

I think everyday's gonna be my last[00:02:38]

Lord have mercy on this land of mine[00:02:45]

We all gonna get it in due time[00:02:49]

Cause I don't belong here [00:02:52]

I don't belong there[00:02:54]

I've even stopped believing in prayer[00:02:55]

Don't tell me I tell you[00:03:01]

Me and my people just about due[00:03:05]

I've been there so I know[00:03:08]

They keep on saying Go slow [00:03:11]

Well that's just the trouble[00:03:17]

Do it slow[00:03:20]

Washing the windows[00:03:21]

Do it slow[00:03:23]

Picking the cotton[00:03:24]

Do it slow[00:03:26]

You're plain rotten[00:03:28]

Do it slow[00:03:29]

Too damn lazy[00:03:31]

Do it slow[00:03:33]

Thinking's crazy[00:03:34]

Do it slow[00:03:36]

Where am I going what am I doing [00:03:38]

I don't know I don't know[00:03:41]

Just try to do your very best[00:03:45]

Stand up be counted with all the rest[00:03:48]

Cause everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:03:51]

Picket lines school boy cots[00:04:44]

They try to say it's a communist plot[00:04:47]

All I want is equality[00:04:50]

For my sister my brother my people and me[00:04:53]

But you lied to me all these years[00:05:16]

You told me to wash and clean my ears[00:05:20]

And talk real fine just like a lady[00:05:23]

And you'd stop calling me mama Sadie[00:05:25]

But my country is full of lies[00:05:42]

You're all gonna die and die like flies[00:05:45]

I don't trust nobody any more[00:05:49]

Keep on saying Go slow[00:05:52]

But that's just the trouble[00:05:58]

Do it slow[00:06:00]

Desegregation[00:06:01]

Do it slow[00:06:03]

Mass participation[00:06:05]

Do it slow[00:06:07]

Reunification[00:06:08]

Do it slow[00:06:10]

Do things gradually[00:06:11]

Do it slow[00:06:13]

But bring more tragedy[00:06:14]

Do it slow[00:06:16]

Why don't you see it[00:06:18]

Why don't you feel it[00:06:20]

I don't know I don't know[00:06:21]

You don't have to live next to me[00:06:25]

Just give me my equality[00:06:27]

Cuase Everybody knows about Mississippi[00:06:31]

Everybody knows about Alabama[00:06:34]

Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam[00:06:37]

That's it[00:06:46]
