DD G D I think I see, a wagon rutted roadA D With the weeds growing tall between the tracksG D And along one side, runs a rusty barbed wire fenceA D And beyond that sits an old tar paper shackG Mississippi you're on my mindD Mississippi you're on my mindD A G D Oh, Mississippi you're on my mindD G D I think I hear, a noisy old John DeereA D In a field specked with dirty cotton lintG D And below the field, runs a little shady creekA D And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mintG Mississippi you're on my mindD Mississippi you're on my mindD A G D Oh, Mississippi you're on my mindD G D I think I smell, the honeysuckle vineA D The heavy sweetness like to make me sickG D And the dogs, my God, they're hungry all the timeA D And the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thickG Mississippi you're on my mindD Mississippi you're on my mindD A G D Oh, Mississippi you're on my mindD G D I think I feel, an angry oven heatA D The southern sun just blazes in the skyG D In the dusty weeds an old fat grasshopper jumpsA D I want to make it to that creek before I fryG Mississippi you're on my mindD Mississippi you're on my mindD A G D Oh, Mississippi you're on my mindG Mississippi you're on my mindD Mississippi you're on my mindD A G D Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind
Mississippi Youre On My Mind
