<b>Take Me Back to Mississippi</b> by <i>Lucky Hodnett</i><br />

(Joel Wade / BMI)

(Verse 1)

I grew up in Mississippi by an old cotton mill

We lived in a four room house on a little hill

We didn't have a whole lot more

But we had each other

You know we were family

And we love one and other

(Chorus)

Take me back to Mississippi

Where the sun always shines

Where I used to go fishing

With a cane pole and a line

Take me back to Dixie land

I've been gone too long

Lord how I miss my Mississippi home

(Verse 2)

We picked cotton in Mississippi

Almost every day

Underneath that old hot sun

We wished it would go away

on Saturday night till we get right

we go out a hunting coons

Under the Mississippi Moon

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)

Sunday afternoons

We come home from church

We eat homemade ice cream

Sitting on the front porch

I can still remember

Grandpa tell a joke

Sitting around and laughing

With all my kin folk

(Repeat Chorus)
