[00:00:00] Down In Mississippi - Mavis Staples (玛维丝·史黛波)

[00:00:00] Written by：J.B. Lenoir

[00:00:15] As far back as I can remember

[00:00:21] I either had a plow or hoe

[00:00:26] One of those 'ole nine foot sacs

[00:00:31] Standing at the old turn row

[00:00:36] Down in Mississippi

[00:00:41] Down in Mississippi

[00:00:46] Down in Mississippi where I was born

[00:00:51] Down in Mississippi where I come from

[00:01:07] They had a hunting season on the rabbit

[00:01:13] If you shoot em you went to jail

[00:01:18] Season was a always open on me

[00:01:23] Nobody needed no band

[00:01:29] Down in Mississippi

[00:01:33] Down in Mississippi

[00:01:38] Down in Mississippi where I was born

[00:01:43] Down in Mississippi where I come from

[00:01:59] I remember I use to walk down that gravel road walking with my grandma

[00:02:09] Mississippi sun beaming down

[00:02:15] I went to get some water

[00:02:18] My grandma said young 'un you can't drink that water

[00:02:24] She said you drink from that fountain over there heha

[00:02:31] And that fountain had a sign

[00:02:36] Said for color only

[00:02:41] I was so glad I had my grandma and my papa a huh

[00:02:48] And I wont leave you out grandpa

[00:02:51] My grandpa was so proud of me y'all

[00:02:54] I went down in forest Mississippi one time na

[00:02:58] Didn't know no better but I integrated

[00:03:02] Awasha terrier

[00:03:05] He was telling everybody my grandbaby mavis

[00:03:10] She went up to washa terrier and washed some clothes

[00:03:15] And all the black ladies fallowed her on up in there

[00:03:22] I'm proud of my grand baby

[00:03:25] I saw many more of those signs as I lived in Mississippi

[00:03:33] I'm so glad I can say that I saw everyone of those signs

[00:03:43] Dr King saw that everyone of those signs got taken down

[00:03:49] Down in Mississippi

[00:03:58] Down in Mississippi

[00:04:03] Down in Mississippi where I come from

[00:04:08] Down in Mississippi where I was born
