《Mississippi Goddam》歌词

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

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

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

[00:00:18] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:00:21] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:00:24] 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

[00:00:42] Can't you see it

[00:00:44] 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

[00:00:52] Somebody say a prayer

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

[00:00:58] Tennessee made me lose my rest

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

[00:01:08] 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

[00:01:28] I think every day's gonna be my last

[00:01:37] 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

[00:01:45] I don't belong there

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

[00:01:56] Don't tell me

[00:01:57] I tell you

[00:01:59] Me and my people just about due

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

[00:02:05] They keep on saying "Go slow "

[00:02:14] But that's just the trouble

[00:02:16] "To slow"

[00:02:17] Washing the windows

[00:02:19] "To Slow"

[00:02:20] Picking the cotton

[00:02:22] "To Slow"

[00:02:23] You're just plain rotten

[00:02:25] "To Slow"

[00:02:26] You're too damn lazy

[00:02:28] "To Slow"

[00:02:29] The thinking's crazy

[00:02:31] "To Slow"

[00:02:32] Where am I going

[00:02:34] What am I doing

[00:02:35] I don't know

[00:02:37] I don't know

[00:02:39] Just try to do your very best

[00:02:41] Stand up be counted with all the rest

[00:02:44] For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:02:53] I made you thought I was kiddin'

[00:02:59] Picket lines

[00:03:01] School boy cots

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

[00:03:05] All I want is equality

[00:03:08] For my sister my brother my people and me

[00:03:16] Yes you lied to me all these years

[00:03:20] You told me to wash and clean my ears

[00:03:23] And talk real fine just like a lady

[00:03:26] And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie

[00:03:35] Oh but this whole country is full of lies

[00:03:38] You're all gonna die and die like flies

[00:03:41] I don't trust you any more

[00:03:44] You keep on saying "Go slow "

[00:03:49] "Go slow "

[00:03:53] But that's just the trouble

[00:03:55] "To slow"

[00:03:56] Desegregation

[00:03:58] "To slow'

[00:03:59] Mass participation

[00:04:01] "To slow"

[00:04:01] Reunification

[00:04:04] "To slow"

[00:04:05] Do things gradually

[00:04:07] "To slow"

[00:04:08] But bring more tragedy

[00:04:09] "To slow"

[00:04:11] Why don't you see it

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

[00:04:14] I don't know

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

[00:04:17] You don't have to live next to me

[00:04:19] Just give me my equality

[00:04:22] Everybody knows about Mississippi

[00:04:26] Everybody knows about Alabama

[00:04:28] Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:04:37] That's it
