High on a hillside out of town
My grave just cannot hold me
Lying still beneath the stars
I am cold and I am lonely
Kill me quickly or kill me slow
My friends are not here with me
Lying over yonder in the soil
And both were murdered with me
Long and scorching summer days
With Mississippi burning
Black and white and white and black
Their world will keep on turning
Mississippi burning
Clouds come tumbling down
Truth be told it's turning
And I'm turning in the ground
Sail on, sail on
Up this mighty river
Lay my soul to rest
God will deliver
Mississippi burning
Clouds come tumbling down
Truth be told it's turning
And I'm turning in the ground
My grave just cannot hold me
Lying still beneath the stars
I am cold and I am lonely
Kill me quickly or kill me slow
My friends are not here with me
Lying over yonder in the soil
And both were murdered with me
Long and scorching summer days
With Mississippi burning
Black and white and white and black
Their world will keep on turning
Mississippi burning
Clouds come tumbling down
Truth be told it's turning
And I'm turning in the ground
Sail on, sail on
Up this mighty river
Lay my soul to rest
God will deliver
Mississippi burning
Clouds come tumbling down
Truth be told it's turning
And I'm turning in the ground
