Lyrics:

Down in the kingdom, the devil's due
Sunup 'til sundown that plow's pulling you
Off to the crossroads, ain't much to lose
I've got but one soul to sell for the blues
Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery, pain and misery
I got pain and misery going down to Mississippi

Devil on my shoulder helping me choose
I'm crossing over, I'm pulling up my roots
Off to the crossroads, ain't much to lose
I've got but one soul to sell for the blues
Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery, pain and misery
I got pain and misery going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery pain and misery
I got pain and misery going down to Mississippi

Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery, pain and misery
I got pain and misery going down to Mississippi
Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi
Going down to Mississippi
Pain and misery, pain and misery
I got pain and misery going down to Mississippi
