<pre><font size='+2'>MISSISSIPPI GODDAM lyrics NINA SIMONE</font><br>(1963) Nina Simone <br />
 <br />
 The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam<br />
 And I mean every word of it<br />
 <br />
 Alabama`s gotten me so upset<br />
 Tennessee made me lose my rest<br />
 And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br />
 <br />
 Alabama`s gotten me so upset<br />
 Tennessee made me lose my rest<br />
 And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br />
 <br />
 Can`t you see it<br />
 Can`t you feel it<br />
 It`s all in the air<br />
 I can`t stand the pressure much longer<br />
 Somebody say a prayer<br />
 <br />
 Alabama`s gotten me so upset<br />
 Tennessee made me lose my rest<br />
 And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br />
 <br />
 This is a show tune<br />
 But the show hasn`t been written for it, yet<br />
 <br />
 Hound dogs on my trail<br />
 School children sitting in jail<br />
 Black cat cross my path<br />
 I think every day`s gonna be my last<br />
 <br />
 Lord have mercy on this land of mine<br />
 We all gonna get it in due time<br />
 I don`t belong here<br />
 I don`t belong there<br />
 I`ve even stopped believing in prayer<br />
 <br />
 Don`t tell me<br />
 I tell you<br />
 Me and my people just about due<br />
 I`ve been there so I know<br />
 They keep on saying "Go slow!"<br />
 <br />
 But that`s just the trouble<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Washing the windows<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Picking the cotton<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 You`re just plain rotten<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 You`re too damn lazy<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 The thinking`s crazy<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Where am I going<br />
 What am I doing<br />
 I don`t know<br />
 I don`t know<br />
 <br />
 Just try to do your very best<br />
 Stand up be counted with all the rest<br />
 For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br />
 <br />
 I made you thought I was kiddin` didn`t we<br />
 <br />
 Picket lines<br />
 School boycotts<br />
 They try to say it`s a communist plot<br />
 All I want is equality<br />
 for my sister my brother my people and me<br />
 <br />
 Yes you lied to me all these years<br />
 You told me to wash and clean my ears<br />
 And talk real fine just like a lady<br />
 And you`d stop calling me Sister Sadie<br />
 <br />
 Oh but this whole country is full of lies<br />
 You`re all gonna die and die like flies<br />
 I don`t trust you any more<br />
 You keep on saying "Go slow!"<br />
 "Go slow!"<br />
 <br />
 But that`s just the trouble<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Desegregation<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Mass participation<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Reunification<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Do things gradually<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 But bring more tragedy<br />
 "do it slow"<br />
 Why don`t you see it<br />
 Why don`t you feel it<br />
 I don`t know<br />
 I don`t know<br />
 <br />
 You don`t have to live next to me<br />
 Just give me my equality<br />
 Everybody knows about Mississippi<br />
 Everybody knows about Alabama<br />
 Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam<br />
 <br />

Send "Mississippi Goddam" Ringtone to your Cell

(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!
