I think I see a wagon rutted road 

With the weeds growing tall between the tracks 

And along one side runs a rusty barbed wire fence 

And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind 

I think I hear a noisy old John Deere 

In a field specked with dirty cotton lint 

And below the field runs a shady little creek 

And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind 

I think I smell the honeysuckle vine 

The heavy sweetness like to make me sick 

And the dogs, my God, they're hungry all the time 

And the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thick 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind 

I think I feel an angry oven heat 

The Southern Sun just blazes in the sky 

In the dusty weeds a fat grasshopper jumps 

I want to make it to that creek before I fry 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Mississippi you're on my mind 

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind
