Mrs. From Mississippi
MRS. FROM MISSISSIPPI
(Toronzo Cannon, Cannonball Express Music admin. by Small Scale Music, ASCAP)

NOT A DAY GO BY WITHOUT THINKING ‘BOUT THE ONE I LOVE
BODY, HIPS, MIND AND LIPS, SHE GOT IT ALL, MAN, SHE’S TOUGH
HER AREA CODE IS 601
DEEP DOWN SOUTH, THAT’S WHERE SHE’S FROM

THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY BABY FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY GIRL FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY BOO FROM MISSISSIPPI
SHE IS HOT AS THE SUN, SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI

WHEN SHE WALKS IN THE ROOM ALL THE MEN STOP AND STARE
THE WOMEN GET JEALOUS ‘CAUSE THEY CAN’T COMPARE
CHURCH GOING WOMAN, KNOWS WHAT IS RIGHT
BUT SHE CAN HANDLE HER BUSINESS WHEN WE’RE ALONE AT NIGHT

THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY BABY FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY GIRL FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY BOO FROM MISSISSIPPI
SHE’S MY SWEET POTATO PIE, A TASTE I CAN’T DENY
THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI

(SOLO)

WHEN I’M GONE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ‘CAUSE I KNOW SHE’S MINE
I CAN FEEL IT IN HER TOUCH, Y’ALL, YOU KNOW SHE AIN’T LYIN’
I’M A LUCKY MOTHER FOR YOU AS HAPPY AS CAN BE
I FOUND A PERFECT WOMAN, Y’ALL, IN MISSISSIPPI
(HELP ME SING, Y’ALL)

THAT’S MY MRS. FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY BABY FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY GIRL FROM MISSISSIPPI
THAT’S MY BOO FROM MISSISSIPPI
LIKE THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, MY BABY CAN DELIVER
THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI
WHEN SHE OPENS HER MOUTH, YOU KNOW SHE’S FROM THE SOUTH
THAT’S MY WOMAN FROM MISSISSIPPI
SHE IS HOT AS THE SUN, SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI
SHE’S MY SWEET POTATO PIE, A TASTE I CAN’T DENY
THAT’S MY MISSUS FROM MISSISSIPPI
