MONEY, MISSISSIPPI, BLUES

I wouldn't want to go <u>MEMORIAL HONEY</u>
To Money, honey,
Money, Mississippi.

No, I wouldn't want to go <u>MEMORIAL HONEY</u>
To Money, honey,
<u>MEMORIAL</u> Mississippi.

Sorrow, pity, pain,

In Money, Mississippi.

Tears and blood like rain

In Money, Mississippi.

Little old boy, <u>LOVE MY BROTHERS</u>

Fourteen years old,

Shot, kicked, and <u>BATTEM</u> beaten

Because he was so bold <u>LOVE MY BROTHERS</u>
To <u>LOVE MY BROTHERS</u> whistle at a woman

Who was white,

Throwed in the river

In the dead of night.

Oh, I wouldn't want to go <u>MEMORIAL</u>
To Money,
Money, Mississippi.

Lordy, Lord,

<u>MEMORIAL HONEY</u>

My heart's in pain! /// <u>Money, Mississippi</u>
Tears and blood <u>MEMORIAL HONEY</u>
Just like rain

In Money, Mississippi!

<u>MEMORIAL</u> For no money, honey,

I wouldn't want to go

To Money,
<u>NOT</u> Money,
Mississippi!

NO! Not <u>Money</u>,

Mississippi!

Money, Mississippi......
