Standard (EADGBE)

 I think I see, a wagon rutted road

 With the weeds growing tall between the tracks

 And along one side, runs a rusty barbed wire fence

 And beyond that sits an old tar paper shack

 Mississippi you're on my mind

 Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

 I think I hear, a noisy old John Deere

 In a field specked with dirty cotton lint

 And below the field, runs a little shady creek

 And there you'll find the cool green leaves of mint

 Mississippi you're on my mind

 Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

 I think I smell, the honeysuckle vine

 The heavy sweetness like to make me sick

 And the dogs, my God, they're hungry all the time

 And the snakes are sleeping where the weeds are thick

 Mississippi you're on my mind

 Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

 I think I feel, an angry oven heat

 The southern sun just blazes in the sky

 In the dusty weeds an old fat grasshopper jumps

 I want to make it to that creek before I fry

 Mississippi you're on my mind

 Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind

 Mississippi you're on my mind

 Mississippi you're on my mind

Oh, Mississippi you're on my mind
