letra de mississippi: go, mississippi - august sons
we used to have a governor
named ross barnett
and like old george next door
was a segregationist
and after that day they hired him
back in 1962
they still had a campaign jingle
with nothing else to do
go mississippi
keep rolling along
go mississippi
you cannot go wrong
go mississippi
we’re singing your song
all the d-mn doo dah day
ever since we’d been a state
we ain’t had ourselves a song
since 1817, my god
and we managed to carry on
but some wise guy took that jingle
and he turned them words around
and the next thing you know
he’s singing our new statе song
go mississippi
you’re on the right track
go mississippi
and this is a fact
go mississippi
don’t evеr look back
all the d-mn doo dah day
180 years gone by
35 with this tune
i don’t know where it’s been
since the side of a campaign balloon
now when i called up my government
to ask them our state tune
they said, “it’s a request we seldom get
“well get back to you”
go mississippi
straight down the line
go mississippi
everything’s fine
go mississippi
it’s your state and mine
all the d-mn doo dah day
now some of things you might already know
about the south
the heat is hot, the air is wet
and we love to run our mouths
telling tales, and singing songs
and spitting tobacky out
go mississippi
continue to roll
go mississippi
the top is the goal
go mississippi
you’ll have and you’ll hold
all the d-mn doo dah day
mississippi’s got a history
as vivid as it could be
and anyone who’s forgot
can just turn on their tv
now we ain’t never claimed to be
a vacation paradise
we don’t lynch anymore like we did before
now it’s really nice
go mississippi
get up and go
go mississippi
let the world know
that our mississippi
is leading the show
all the d-mn doo dah day
there you have two lines of a song
that made it to the history book
but when you walk down the street
most everyone you meet
will probably give you a dirty look
see, they don’t know, and they don’t care
so please don’t get them wrong
just how many of you out there
know your own state song?
go, mississippi
