《Mississippi Goddam》歌词

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

[00:01:30] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:01:33] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:01:36] And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:01:43] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:01:46] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:01:49] And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:01:56] Can't you see it

[00:01:57] I know you can feel it

[00:02:00] It's all in the air

[00:02:02] I can't stand the pressure much longer

[00:02:06] Somebody say a prayer

[00:02:10] Alabama's gotten me so upset

[00:02:12] Tennessee made me lose my rest

[00:02:16] And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:02:29] Hound dogs on my trail

[00:02:32] The school children sitting in jail

[00:02:36] Black cat cross my path

[00:02:39] I think everyday's gonna be my last

[00:02:45] Lord have mercy on this land of mine

[00:02:49] We all gonna get it in due time

[00:02:52] Cause I don't belong here

[00:02:54] I don't belong there

[00:02:55] I've even stopped believing in prayer

[00:03:02] Don't tell me I tell you

[00:03:05] Me and my people just about due

[00:03:08] I've been there so I know

[00:03:17] Well that's just the trouble

[00:03:20] Do it slow

[00:03:21] Washing the windows

[00:03:23] Do it slow

[00:03:25] Picking the cotton

[00:03:28] You're plain rotten

[00:03:30] Do it slow

[00:03:31] Too damn lazy

[00:03:46] Just try to do your very best

[00:03:48] Stand up be counted with all the rest

[00:03:51] Cause everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

[00:04:44] Picket lines school boy cots

[00:04:47] They try to say it's a communist plot

[00:04:50] All I want is equality

[00:04:53] For my sister my brother my people and me

[00:05:16] But you lied to me all these years

[00:05:20] You told me to wash and clean my ears

[00:05:23] And talk real fine just like a lady

[00:05:25] And you'd stop calling me mama Sadie

[00:05:43] But my country is full of lies

[00:05:45] You're all gonna die and die like flies

[00:05:49] I don't trust nobody any more

[00:05:52] Keep on saying Go slow
