Down in Mississippi where cotton grow tall

Get arrested for trouble

You got to call the hound dog

Oh uh down in Mississippi

Whoa yeah where the cotton grow tall

Yes and on the other hand

Baby boll weevil wearing overalls

Go to work in the morning

You know 'bout 4 o'clock

Uh if the mule don't holler yeah

I don't know when to stop

Down in Mississippi baby

Uh whoa yeah where the cotton grow tall

Well and on the other hand

Baby boll weevil wearing overalls

I go to church in the morning

Baby you know down the railroad track

Late over in the evening they bring

Bring the preacher back

He eat up all the chicken now

But uh right to the neck

Look over at my baby and he eat up all the rest

'Cause he was uh down in Mississippi

Uh oh yeah where the cotton grow tall

Well now and on the other hand

Baby boll weevil wearing overalls
