[00:00:00] Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

[00:00:00] Written by：Nina Simone

[00:00:04] The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam

[00:00:14] And I mean every word of it

[00:00:19] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:00:22] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:00:25] And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:00:31] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:00:34] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:00:37] And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:00:43] Can't you see it

[00:00:45] Can't you feel it

[00:00:46] It's all in the air

[00:00:49] I can't stand the pressure much longer

[00:00:53] Somebody say a prayer

[00:00:56] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:00:59] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:01:02] And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:01:09] This is a show tune

[00:01:10] But the show hasn't been written for it yet

[00:01:20] Hound dogs on my trail

[00:01:23] School children sitting in jail

[00:01:26] Black cat cross my path

[00:01:29] I think every day's gonna be my last

[00:01:38] Lord have mercy on this land of mine

[00:01:41] We all gonna get it in due time

[00:01:44] I don't belong here

[00:01:46] I don't belong there

[00:01:47] I've even stopped believing in prayer

[00:01:57] Don't tell me

[00:01:58] I tell you

[00:02:00] Me and my people just about due

[00:02:03] I've been there so I know

[00:02:06] They keep on saying "Go slow "

[00:02:15] But that's just the trouble

[00:02:17] "do it slow"

[00:02:18] Washing the windows

[00:02:20] "do it slow"

[00:02:21] Picking the cotton

[00:02:23] "do it slow"

[00:02:24] You're just plain rotten

[00:02:26] "do it slow"

[00:02:27] You're too damn lazy

[00:02:29] "do it slow"

[00:02:30] The thinking's crazy

[00:02:32] "do it slow"

[00:02:33] Where am I going

[00:02:35] What am I doing

[00:02:36] I don't know

[00:02:38] I don't know

[00:02:40] Just try to do your very best

[00:02:42] Stand up be counted with all the rest

[00:02:45] For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:02:54] I made you thought I was kiddin' didn't we

[00:03:00] Picket lines

[00:03:02] School boycotts

[00:03:03] They try to say it's a communist plot

[00:03:06] All I want is equality

[00:03:09] For my sister my brother my people and me

[00:03:18] Yes you lied to me all these years

[00:03:21] You told me to wash and clean my ears

[00:03:24] And talk real fine just like a lady

[00:03:27] And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie

[00:03:36] Oh but this whole country is full of lies

[00:03:39] You're all gonna die and die like flies

[00:03:43] I don't trust you any more

[00:03:45] You keep on saying "Go slow "

[00:03:51] "Go slow "

[00:03:54] But that's just the trouble

[00:03:56] "do it slow"

[00:03:57] Desegregation

[00:03:59] "do it slow"

[00:04:00] Mass participation

[00:04:02] "do it slow"

[00:04:03] Reunification

[00:04:05] "do it slow"

[00:04:06] Do things gradually

[00:04:08] "do it slow"

[00:04:09] But bring more tragedy

[00:04:12] "do it slow"

[00:04:12] Why don't you see it

[00:04:14] Why don't you feel it

[00:04:15] I don't know

[00:04:17] I don't know

[00:04:18] You don't have to live next to me

[00:04:21] Just give me my equality

[00:04:24] Everybody knows about Mississippi

[00:04:27] Everybody knows about Alabama

[00:04:30] Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:04:38] That's it
