I think I see [Ab] a wagon-loaded [Eb] road with the weeds growing tall between the [Bb] tracks
[Eb] and along one side [Ab] runs a rusty barbed wire [Eb] fence and beyond that sits an [Bb] old tall paper [Eb] shack
[Ab] Mississippi, you're on my mind Mississippi, [Eb] you're on my mind
[Ab] Oh,
[Eb] [Bb] Mississippi, you're on my [Eb] mind
I think I hear [Ab] a noisy old John [Eb] Deere in a field specked with dirty cotton [Bb] lint
[Eb] and below the field [Ab] runs a little shady [Eb] creek and there you'll find the [Bb] cool green leaves of [Eb] mint
[Ab] Mississippi, you're on my mind Mississippi, [Eb] you're on my [Bb] mind
Oh, Mississippi, [Bb] you're on [Eb] my mind
I think I smell [Ab] the honeysuckle [Eb] vine, the heavy sweetness like to make me [Bb] sick
and
[Eb] the dogs, my God, [Ab] they're hungry all [Eb] the time
and the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thick
[Ab] Mississippi, you're on my mind [Eb] Mississippi, you're on my mind
[Ab]
Oh, [Eb] Mississippi, [Bb] you're on my [Eb] mind
I think I feel [Ab] an angry oven [Eb] heat, the southern sun just blazes in [Bb] the sky
[Eb] and in the dusty weeds an [Ab] old fat grasshopper jumps
[Eb]
I want to make it to [Bb] that creek before I [Eb] fry
[Ab] Mississippi, you're on my mind [Eb] Mississippi, you're on my mind
Oh, Mississippi, [Bb] you're on [Eb] my mind [Ab] Mississippi, you're on my mind
[Eb] Mississippi, you're on my mind Oh, [Bb] Mississippi, you're on [Eb] my mind
[Eb] and along one side [Ab] runs a rusty barbed wire [Eb] fence and beyond that sits an [Bb] old tall paper [Eb] shack
[Ab] Mississippi, you're on my mind Mississippi, [Eb] you're on my mind
