Fuel up And, of course a couple of years ago Four little girls were killed In Alabama And at that time we got the inspiration to do this song But Dr. King's murder has left me so numb I don't know where I'm at, really And of course you heard this song That was composed by Gene Taylor Especially for today But I hope that between now and the end of the year It'll all be together enough That we will have songs that go down in history For these wonderful, brave people Who are no longer with us Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest Everybody knows about Mississippi goddam Alabama's gotten me so upset Lurleen Wallace has made me lose my rest Everybody knows about Mississippi goddam Can't you see it? I know you can feel it It's all in the air I can't stand the pressure much longer Somebody say a prayer Alabama has got me so upset And Memphis has made me lose my rest Everybody knows about Mississippi goddam Hound dogs on my trail Those school children sitting in jail Black cat cross my path I think every day's gonna be my last Lord, have mercy on this land of mine We all gonna get it in due time 'Cause I don't belong here I don't belong there I've even stopped believing in prayer Don't tell me, I'll tell you Me and my people, just about due I've been there, so I know You keep on saying, "Go slow" Well that's just the trouble (too slow) Washing the windows (too slow) Pickin' the cotton (too slow) Nothin' but rotten (too slow) Too damn lazy (too slow) Thinking's crazy (too slow) Where am I going? What am I doing? I don't know I don't know Just try to do my very best Stand up be counted with all the rest 'Cause everybody knows about Mississippi goddam Now, you heard him He's one of you If you have been moved at all And you know my songs at all For God's sakes, join me Don't sit back there The time is too late now, good God! You know? The king is dead The king of love is dead I ain't 'bout to be nonviolent, honey! Ahaha, woah no Picket lines, school boy cots They try to say it's a communist plot But all I want is equality For my sister, my brother, my people and me And I loved him because he believed it He lived by it But you lied to me all these years You told me to wash and clean my ears And talk real fine just like a lady And you'd stop calling my mama Aunt Sadie Hear me now But my country is full of lies We're all gonna die and die like flies And I don't trust nobody anymore Keep on saying "Go slow!" That's just the trouble (too slow) Desegregation (too slow) Mass participation (too slow) Unification (too slow) Do things gradually (too slow) But bring more tragedy (too slow) Why don't you see it? Why don't you feel it? I don't know Just give me my equality 'Cause everybody knows about Mississippi Everybody knows about Alabama Everybody knows about Mississippi goddam That's it

La conocí en San Cayetano Sentada muy temprano, en la vereda Perdida entre la gente En medio de una larga procesión Y en ese loco torbellino Borracho como un vino me dejó Porque ví sus ojos negros Y todo el mundo pronto desapareció No! San Cayetano Yo te pedí una mano Y no un amor Exótica y hermosa Pero excesivamente religiosa Rezaba todo el día Y no tenía tema de conversación Aguanté por unos días Casi todas sus manías, pero yo Yo no soy lo que se dice exactamente Un santo de su devoción No! San Cayetano Yo te pedí una mano Y no un amor Aflójese la ropa Y páguese otra copa compañero Que mientras yo le cuento La historia de otro amor que no duró Una tarde de domingo Que se fue a San Cayetano y no volvió Esto fue hace mucho tiempo Pero ya cambiemos de conversación No! San Cayetano Yo te pedí una mano Y no un amor

Where you can hear the country song from far And someone play the honky tonk guitar Where all the lights will go out one by one The people join the song And the wind takes it away Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea And lovers found the place they like to be How many times before the song was ending? Love and understanding Everywhere around Mississippi, I'll remember you Whenever I shall go away I'll be longing for the day That I will be in Greenville again Mississippi, you'll be on my mind Every time I hear this song Mississippi roll along Until the end of time Now the country song forever lost its soul When the guitar player turned to Rock 'n' Roll And every time when summer nights are falling I always will be calling Dreams of yesterday Mississippi, I'll remember you Whenever I shall go away I'll be longing for the day That I will be in Greenville again Mississippi, you'll be on my mind Every time I hear this song Mississippi roll along Until the end of time Every time I hear this song Mississippi roll along Until the end of time

When the sun shines She is blooming in my mind When the moon comes You will find her in my dreams She's walking on the sea shore of the day With a song in her heart And a love she is sending my way When I met her On the gold Biloxi Bay And I knew that In my heart she had to stay Liked the fisherman who said "I am the way" Oh I just remember my Mississippi girl that way And when we meet again We'll sing the songs of When we were apart Pieces of my heart When the sun shines She is blooming in my mind When the moon comes You will find her in my dreams Wrapped in words that are impossible to say Oh I just remember my Mississippi girl that way
