Far East Mississippi Lyrics

[Intro]
We should love one another, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
You best not be jokin'
You better be strokin' comin' down to Mississippi 'cause
They don't allow no strippin' down in far east Mississippi, no, no, no
Hang on

[Bridge]
Far east Mississippi
Far east Mississippi

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
We ought to love one another
Like sisters and brothers, yeah
Guilty of lovin' a woman

[Verse 2]
They don't allow no bad lipping, no skinny dipping
In far east Mississippi, child, no
They don't allow no honey
No tailducking in far east Mississippi, far east Mississippi, child
[Instrumental]

[Refrain]
Far east, far east Mississippi
Far east Mississippi, child, uh
Far east Mississippi
Far east Mississippi

[Verse 3]
They don't stand for no jivin'
No connivin' in far east Mississippi, no, huh
You best not be lying, be denying
Coming from Mississippi, child

[Outro]
Far east Mississippi
Far east Mississippi
Just wanna be free, ooh, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Wanna be free

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
