Lyrics
Moses Brown – Written by Kenny Mehler
Mississippi is the place where I want to go now
There’s a town where Moses Brown got down
Pick the pieces up and staggered around
Worked nights in the kitchen, knowing there was
some place he’d rather be Well, he saved enough
to get back on his feet If you listen you can hear him speak
he said...
Mississippi…Sing it with me
How do you like me now
Hallelujah…what’s it to yah
He used to say with a smile now
Were’ getting down with the sound from Moses Brown
Moses liked his woman as much as he liked his wine
On the banks of the Mississippi river is where he spent his time
Well I can remember the day he lost his mind in a couple of ways
A bottle of booze and a banjo and the old mans doing fine…he said
Mississippi…Sing it with me
How do you like me now
Hallelujah…what’s it to yah
He used to say with a smile now
Were’ getting down with the sound from Moses Brown
One day by the river, Moses had more than a little…yah know
He fell in wearing nothing but his skin and I think that’s how the
story goes They say if you listen, by the bridge at the end of the town
You can still hear the sound of Moses Brown rocking you down from the
underground…yah know what he said
Mississippi…Sing it with me
How do you like me now
Hallelujah…what’s it to yah
He used to say with a smile now
