Grandpa never got out of bed last night
These last few years he gave it a good fight
Something something must have seemed right
Cuz Grandpa never got out of bed last night
Grew up on a river down in New Orleans
Moved to Biloxi when he was just thirteen
Fishing and cutting hair just to stay alive
Somehow everyone they seemed to survive
Giddy up little doggies
Go on and roam
Find him if you can
Keep running in circles
Till you are done
Find me another
Mississippi Man
Born in the summer of 1894
Married Ruth and left for the First World War
Raising up six kids in the worst of times
The years after 1929
Riding the postal trains throughout the south
Fought in World War II and made it out
Went back to school to learn to teach
A man who always practiced what he preached
Giddy up little doggies
Go on and roam
Find him if you can
Keep running in circles
Till you are done
Find me another
Mississippi Man
Giddy up little doggies
Go on and roam
Find him if you can
Keep running in circles
Till you are done
Find me another
Mississippi Man
Grandpa never got out of bed last night
These last few years he gave it a good fight
Something something must have seemed right
Cuz Grandpa never got out of bed last night
Last night
Last night
Last night
Last night
