Mississippi Goddam (Live at Newport) Nina Simone

[Verse 1]
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi goddam
Alabama's got me so upset
And Watts has made me lose my rest
Everybody knows about Mississippi goddam

[Bridge]
Can't you see it
I know you can feel it
It's all in the air
I can't stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer

[Verse 2]
Alabama's got me so upset
California's made me lose my rest
Everybody knows about Mississippi goddam

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Hound dogs on my trail
Little school children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last, yeah
Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here, I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer
Don't tell me, I'll tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there so I know
You keep on saying "Go slow!"
That's what you said now
