Subject: Lyr Add: BACK TO MISSISSIPPI (Mississippi Sheiks)
I hear some different stuff, here's the words I use:

1. Always tell, baby, when your man's gon' put you down
Won't bring no money home and his face is full of frowns.
You better go back to Mississippi.
(You) better go back to Mississippi.
You better go back to Mississippi,
Honey, where the weather ain't cold.

2. I'm gon' tell you one thing, baby, honey, that's sure:
You can't stay up here and wear them double-thin clothes.
You better go back....

3. Now a nickel's a nickel, a dime's a dime.
Woman gets tired of wearing thin clothes up here all the time,
And she'll go back....

4. Baby, I'm gonna tell you the facts:
Don't like me, you better take your money back
And go back....

5. Now looka here, baby, I'm gonna advise you:
Goin' one man up here will never do.
You better go back....

6. It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll,
A Mississippi train now, to satisfy my soul,
And we'll go back....
