Mississippi Road - J.B. Lenoir

Written by：J.B. Lenoir

My moth' an' daddy live on a high hill

Way on that mississippi road

My moth' an' daddy live on a high hill

Way on out that mississippi road

Sometimes I would walk down cry and wonder

'Cause of where one day I must go

My mother daddy work so hard

Until their clothes

Was wet with sweat

My mother daddy work so hard

Until their clothes

Was wet with sweat

And come time from the sell up get paid from

The master

They wouldn't ever come out of debt

Sometime I sit down and wonder

Why I was the

Only child she had

Sometime I sits down and wonder

Why I was the

Only child she had

Sometime I think about the way

She was mistreated

And that's what makes me feel so bad

Before my mother she died

She used to hang her

Head and cry

Before my mother she died

She used to hang her

Head and cry

She said lord have mercy

Have mercy on my little

Child

She said lord have mercy

Have mercy on my little
