INTRO: E

E

Mississippi woman with your long black hair

Gee I really miss you baby and I wish that you were here

A

How you used to love me woman every lonely night

E

With your lips so tender baby and your eyes so bright

A

Thought I'd write a letter just to let you know

B/

Mississippi woman baby that I love you so, child

Got into some trouble down in Mexico

I robbed a man in San Juan and I shot a guy called Joe

Now I'm being hunted and the law is on my trail

Next I write you woman I guess I'll be in jail

Mississippi woman try to understand

Please don't sit around and weep for this lonely man

A

Caught me in Kentucky judge gave me a dime

E

Bought a hacksaw from a trustee and I got away that time

Right now I'm in Florida on my way to Tennessee

B/

Mississippi woman baby save your love for me child

SOLO

FIRST VERSE

E A

Mississippi woman, Mississippi woman

E A

Mississippi woman, Mississippi woman
