Lyrics:

Down in Mississippi, boys, is my native home
Down in Mississippi is my native home
Now I'm here in Chicago
I don't know what in the world I'm waitin on

Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi really is my native home

Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi boys, is my native home

[Piano boogie bridge]

Tell me pretty baby, what can you do
Won't you tell me pretty baby
Tell me pretty baby, what can you do to change my mind?
I'm here in Chicago and I want to go on down the line

Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Way down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi is my native home

Down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Way down in Mississippi, down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi is my native home
