Phil Ochs - Going Down To Mississipi Lyrics

Align:

Im going down to mississipi

Im going down a southern road

And if you never see me again

Remember that I had to go

Remember that I had to go

Its a long road down to mississipi

Its a short road back the other way

If the cops pull you over to the side of the road

You wont have nothing to say

No, you wont have nothing to say

Theres a man waiting down in mississippi

And hes waiting with a rifle in his hand

And hes looking down the road for an out-of-state car

And he thinks hes fighting for his land

Yes, he thinks hes fighting for his land

And he wont know the clothes Im wearing

And he doesnt know the name that I own

But his gun is large and his hate is hard

And he knows Im coming down the road

Yes, he knows Im coming down the road

Its not for the glory that Im leaving

Its not trouble that Im looking for

But theres lots of good work calling me down

And the waiting wont do no more

No, the waiting wont do no more

Dont call me the brave one for going

No, dont pin a medal to my name

For even if there was any choice to make

Id be going down just the same

Id be going down just the same

For someones got to go to mississipi

Just as sure as theres a right and theres a wrong

Even though you say the time will change

That time is just too long

That time is just too long

So Im going down to mississipi

Im going down a southern road

And if you never see me again

Remember that I had to go

Remember that I had to go
