...I have been looking for songs from Mississippi and here is another one from the AP Hudson collection:

TURNIP GREENS

Had a dream the other night
Dreamed that I could fly
Flapped my wings like a buzzard
And flew up to the sky

St. Peter stood at the Golden Gate
"From what place did you fly?"
I told him from Mississippi
I flew up to the sky

He showed me through a telescope
I don't know what that means
I saw ten thousand people
Livin on turnip greens

They all looked so sassy
Been livin above their means
And he kicked them down to the hot place
For stealin turnip greens

Turnip greens, turnip greens
Good old turnip greens
Cornbread and buttermilk
and good old turnip greens
