Well Mr. Madison Square put a price on my head And his eleven jealous children, they wanna see me dead The Chief of Police came down and said 'This man's gone to the Mississippi Sound!' Down by the Mississippi Sound The people are looking for Higher Ground Cat, Ship, Horn Island Bound And we thank God for Mississippi Sound On a trip to Midnight, Mississippi In a storm where no lightning can hit me I heard the Sweet Sound of church girls singing 'You're bound down in a Mississippi Town' Now I'm going 105 on Route 109 I stole a man's car, I nearly broke his spine Then a I drank a whole quart of alligator wine But don't worry Ma, I feel fine Down by the Mississippi Sound The people are looking for Higher Ground Cat, Ship, Horn Island Bound And we thank God for Mississippi Sound Well I crashed my car into a Holy Cross Me unharmed but one life lost So I fled the scene to avoid the cost And I hung my head down Then my tank blew up and I ditched my car And I ran as fast as a shooting star But they shot me down, I didn't get too far And I fell face down to the ground Down by the Mississippi Sound The people are looking for Higher Ground Cat, Ship, Horn Island Bound And we thank God for Mississippi Sound Cuz I'm like an Israelite, can you feel my plight? My feet are sore and my fists are tight Wonder now if I was right Or have I been tricked, again? Now maybe usually, there's no price I won't pay But today was very different than any other day When the cops tracked me down by Galveston Bay Just a Thorn in my Mississippi Crown Down by the Mississippi Sound The people are looking for Higher Ground Cat, Ship, Horn Island Bound And we thank God for Mississippi Sound I can't tell you what it sounds like - at all You'll have to take that hike - alone And I as lay in the sugar white sand I hear the rushing of the Mississippi Sound
