The Most Beautiful Mississippi Folk Song You've Never Heard!

The Most Beautiful Mississippi Folk Song You've Never Heard!

Down where the Mississippi rolls,
Where the blues seep through my soul,
Magnolias bloom in white cotton fields,
Golden sunsets are a treasure that yields.
The Delta winds whisper soft and low,
With a harmonica playing an evening show.

Down by the river in Vicksburg town,
With southern pride that'll never back down.
Alligators swim while mockingbirds sing,
Fixing to dance with this life we bring.
Y'all come gather 'round for some Southern grace,
In this heart of Mississippi's embrace.

At the old plantations where stories were sewn,
Through thick air filled with history grown.
Elvis on the jukebox calls from years gone by,
While memories hum like a sweet lullaby.
Pearl and Yazoo flow-mighty rivers combine;
Oh hush now baby; it's country-time.

Down by the river in Vicksburg town,
With southern pride that'll never back down.
Alligators swim while mockingbirds sing,
Fixing to dance with this life we bring.
Y'all come gather 'round for some Southern grace,
In this heart of Mississippi's embrace.

Underneath De Soto's ancient trees so wide,
Feel that slow beat as I take you for a ride;
A spirit alive in every bar and note —
Southern hospitality wrapped up tight like your coat.

Down by the river in Vicksburg town,
With southern pride that'll never back down.
Alligators swim while mockingbirds sing,
Fixing to dance with this life we bring.
Y'all come gather 'round for some Southern grace,
In this heart of Mississippi's embrace.

So let's raise our glass to these delta blues-to
The sound of harvests and treasured views;
From white cotton dreams beneath skies so high —
We're proud Mississippians till we say goodbye!
