Mississippi Burning – Graham NashBy High on a hillside out of townMy grave just cannot hold meLying still beneath the starsI am cold and I am lonelyKill me quickly or kill me slowMy friends are not here with meLying over yonder in the soilAnd both were murdered with meLong and scorching summer daysWith Mississippi burningBlack and white and white and blackTheir world will keep on turningMississippi burningClouds come tumbling downTruth be told it’s turningAnd I’m turning in the groundSail on, sail onUp this mighty riverLay my soul to restGod will deliverMississippi burningClouds come tumbling downTruth be told it’s turningAnd I’m turning in the groundMany a good soul lost their lifeAnd we were just three of themArm in arm we stood our groundFor something to believe inLynch the truth it will not dieIt just comes back to haunt usTell the truth and do not lieOur memory must be agelessSail on, sail onUp this mighty riverLay my soul to restGod will deliverSail on, sail onUp this mighty riverLay my soul to restGod will deliver www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
