  • (1963) Nina
    Simone The name of this tune is
    Mississippi
    Goddam And
    I mean every word of it
    Alabama's gotten me so upset
    Tennessee made me lose my rest
    And everybody knows about
    Mississippi
    Goddam Alabama's gotten me so upset
    Tennessee made me lose my rest
    And everybody knows about
    Mississippi
    Goddam Can't you see it
    Can't you feel it
    It's all in the air
    I can't stand the pressure much longer
    Somebody say a prayer
    Alabama's gotten me so upset
    Tennessee made me lose my rest
    And everybody knows about
    Mississippi
    Goddam This is a show tune
    But the show hasn't been written for it, yet
    Hound dogs on my trail
    School children sitting in jail
    Black cat cross my path
    I think every day's gonna be my last
    Lord have mercy on this land of mine
    We all gonna get it in due time
    I don't belong here
    I don't belong there
    I've even stopped believing in prayer
    Don't tell me
    I tell you
    Me and my people just about due
    I've been there so
    I know They keep on saying "Go slow!"
    But that's just the trouble "do it slow"
    Washing the windows "do it slow"
    Picking the cotton "do it slow"
    You're just plain rotten "do it slow"
    You're too damn lazy "do it slow"
    The thinking's crazy "do it slow"
    Where am I going
    What am I doing
    I don't know
    I don't know
    Just try to do your very best
    Stand up be counted with all the rest
    For everybody knows about
    Mississippi
    Goddam I made you thought
    I was kiddin' didn't we
    Picket lines
    School boycotts
    They try to say it's a communist plot
    All I want is equality for my sister my brother my people and me
    Yes you lied to me all these years
    You told me to wash and clean my ears
    And talk real fine just like a lady
    And you'd stop calling me
    Sister Sadie
    Oh but this whole country is full of lies
    You're all gonna die and die like flies
    I don't trust you any more
    You keep on saying "Go slow!" "Go slow!"
    But that's just the trouble "do it slow"
    Desegregation "do it slow"
    Mass participation "do it slow"
    Reunification "do it slow"
    Do things gradually "do it slow"
    But bring more tragedy "do it slow"
    Why don't you see it
    Why don't you feel it
    I don't know
    I don't know
    You don't have to live next to me
    Just give me my equality
    Everybody knows about
    Mississippi
    Everybody knows about
    Alabama Everybody knows about
    Mississippi
    Goddam That's it for now! see ya' later
