Mississippi

Been on the road for a long time Meet a lot of women, but I leave them behind I wanna go back to the land I love Magnolia smells sweet and white cotton grow Oh, take me home, darling Take me back to the country Why don't you take me home? Woo To Greenwood, Mississippi, oh Old Farmer John He lived down the road He worked in the field Carrying a heavy load He said he don't worry about a thing Sweat rolling down his face And he ain't feeling no pain Oh, take me home, darling Take me back to the country Why don't you take me home? Woo To Greenwood, Mississippi, woo Better take me Said she'd wait for me Lord, I caused her a lot of misery I left her crying I didn't wanna go Searching for something I found long ago Oh, take me home, darling Take me back to the country Why don't you take me home? Woo To Greenwood, Mississippi Oh, take me home Oh, take me home Take me, take me, take me home (take me back to the country) Take me, Lord Oh, take me Take me, take me, take me, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
