Lyrics

Even though the weight was heavy I was happy under levy Wanna take my ride for place In the Mississippi Basin back home Where I did at home Everybody was for me there All the folks work on and free there Used to love to wash my face In that Mississippi Basin back home There goes summer land That's the song I'm singing all day Even something, baby Why did I leave you, why did I go away Soon I'm gonna make a bee line But an old place for me and Way across the basin, dig line That Mississippi Basin back home
