Down in Mississippi Lyrics

I'm sorry little girl, but your face is black
Don't show me nothin' but the colour of your back
Following your footsteps to a dirty little shack,
Down in Mississippi
My mummy always tells me just what to do
She says I'm not supposed to play with you
Your face is brown and you ain't got no shoes
Down in Mississippi
Besides my daddy is a mighty nice man
He takes me to meetings of the Ku Klux Klan
Let's you people know just where you stand
Down in Mississippi

So run away black girl run away home
To the single room house where your whole family's grown
Wish to God you'd never been born
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
