4 Mississippi

The weight of the world sittin' on her shoulders

She carried it all with her two hands

She'd feed the chickens and she'd raise the babies

One Mississippi got it done, doin' the best she can

So rock-a-by sweet baby

That sweet southern comfort will get you through the door

And don't you cry 'cause they will carry you

'Cause there's

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

Well, times have surely changed

And the woman's gained her freedom

Workin' hard is all she wants to do

'Cause three is watchin' and if she's gonna make it

It'll all depend on Mississippi two

So rock-a-by sweet baby

That sweet southern comfort will get you through the door

And don't you cry 'cause they will carry you

'Cause there's

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

I can't change

I've raised a little hell

And I've spent a lot of time with the Lord

But if I'm strong

And I use what I've been given

I might do good with raisin' number four

So rock-a-by sweet baby

I'll hold your hand through every ragin' storm

And don't you cry 'cause we will carry you

You got

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four
