Mississippi Man (Short)

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
