Mississippi Song

歌詞

She was once a great lady standing tall With her head held high Then a war came along and broke her heart And left her there to die With her gown in tattered shreds She raised her weary head and vowed She'd rise again Looking back to yesterday She's come a long long way since then Mississippi this is your song Song for all the righteous people Who won't let you forget when you were wrong In the past they written songs For everything that's red-white-and blue It's been a long time coming So Mississippi, this one's for you I was born into her family And raised on the labours of her fields Beneath the summer sun's warm hays She let me run across her meadows And her hills But she's still the last in line When they pass our point and rise Above the land of the free Lord she's still misunderstood But she's been mighty good to me Mississippi this is your song Song for all the righteous people Who won't let you forget when you were wrong In the past they written songs For everything that's red-white-and blue It's been a long time coming So Mississippi, this one's for you Mississippi this is your song Mississippi this is your song Mississippi
