[Intro]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 1]
Now she was born on a delta
In a two-room shed
Working all day to survive
I'm for hard livin'
Like [?]
When evening comes, she sure come alive
[Chorus]
Mississippi woman, like a flower bloomin'
Talk so sweet and low, careful, she'll capture your mind
Lucky is the man that falls at her feet
Takin' all her love inside
Jones smokes his woman with pride, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now her daddy was a drinkin'
And a wandering man
Had to leave his children behind
Oh, raisin' daddy's children
Never made us sad
Never heard a painin' word
She gave thеm everything she had
[Chorus]
Mississippi woman, likе a flower bloomin'
Talk so sweet and low, careful, she'll capture your mind
Lucky is the man who falls at her feet
Drinkin' all her love inside
Jones smokes his woman with pride, yeah
('Cause bom, pom, on pride yeah) [?]
[Verse 3]
She still lives on the delta
In that rundown shack
Workin' all the day to survive
Mmm, don't hurt daddy's children
He'll hope he left [?]
Ah, she still lives the life she's known
[?], a different girl when she's alone
[Chorus]
Mississippi woman, just can't help a-losin'
Never had a chance to live a life of her own
So she'll spend the rest of her day
Workin' her hands to the bone
Prayin' to the good Lord
[?] the home
