Mississippi Basin

Even though the weight was heavy



I was happy under levy



Wanna take my ride for place



In the Mississippi Basin back home



Where I did at home



Everybody was for me there



All the folks work on and free there



Used to love to wash my face



In that Mississippi Basin back home



There goes summer land



That's the song I'm singing all day



Even something, baby



Why did I leave you, why did I go away



Soon I'm gonna make a bee line



But an old place for me and



Way across the basin, dig line



That Mississippi Basin back home
