In the Mississippi River lyrics

Mavis Staples


In the Mississippi River
(Lord, lord, lord, lord!)
In the Mississippi River
(Lord, lord, lord, lord!)
In the Mississippi River
Well, now you can count them one by one
(It could be your son)
And you can count them two by two
(It could be me or you)
And you can count them three by three
(Now don't you wanna see)
And you can count them four by four

Oh well uh, into the river they go
Oh well uh, into the river they go
(And you can count them five by five)
Now they don't come out alive
(And you can count them six by six)
In Mississippi, they got it fixed
(And you can count them seven by seven)
Mississippi, it ain't no heaven
(And you can count them eight by eight)
And they were thrown in because of hate
(And you can count them nine by nine)
In Mississippi, this ain't no crime
(You can count them ten by ten)
And you will wonder when the right will win
And you will wonder when the right will win
In the Mississippi River
Lord, lord, lord, lord!
In the Mississippi River
Lord, lord, lord, lord!
In the Mississippi River
Well
We got to stop them from goin' in the river
Got to stop them from goin' in the river
Got to stop them from goin' in the river
Got to stop them from goin' in the river
Got to stop them
Hmmm...

In the Mississippi River
Lord, lord, lord, lord!
In the Mississippi River
Lord, lord, lord, lord!
In the Mississippi River
Well
We got to stop them from goin' to the river
Got to stop them from goin' to the river
Stop them
