Mavado - Down In Mississippi lyrics
Verse 1
 As far back as I can remember
 I either had a plow or hoe
 One of those 'ole nine foot sacs
 standing at the old turn row
 (Chorus)
 Down in Mississippi
 Down in Mississippi
 Down in Mississippi where I was born
 Down in Mississippi where i come from
 Verse 2
 They had a hunting season on the rabbit
 If you shoot em you went to jail
 Season was a always open on me
 Nobody needed no band
Chorus
 Verse 3
 I remember, I use to walk down that gravel road,
 walking with my grandma,
 Mississippi sun, beaming downMavado - Down In Mississippi - http://motolyrics.com/mavado/down-in-mississippi-lyrics.html
 I went to get some water
 My grandma said, young 'un you can't drink that water,
 she said you drink from that fountain over there, heha
 and that fountain had a sign
 said for color only
 I was so glad I had my grandma and my papa, a huh, and
 I wont leave you out grandpa
 My grandpa was so pround of me yall
 I went down in forest Mississippi one time na,
 didn't know no better, but i intergrated, a
 washa terrier,
 He was telling everybody, my grandbaby mavis, she went
 up to washa terrier, and washed some clothes, and all
 the black ladies fallowed her on up in there, I'm proud
 of my grandbaby,
 I saw many more of those signs as i lived in
 mississippi,
 I'm so glad I can say that I saw everyone of those
 signs, Dr. King saw that everyone of those signs got
 taken down, down in Mississippi
Chorus
