Lyrics:

I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache everywhere I go
I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache where I go
And the reason I sing 'em is my baby didn't want me know more

I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache where I sleep
I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache where I sleep
And the reason I sing 'em is to give my poor soul ease

Now mama I ain't gonna be your lowdown dog no more

And I don't like this old place, mama, and Lord and I never will
And I don't like this old place, mama, and Lord and I never will
All I can sit right here and look at Vicksburg on the hill
