Mississippi John Hurt

 

Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down

Mississippi John Hurt done laid his burden down

His living soul’s with a loving God, his bones’ in the cold cold ground

 

Mississippi John Hurt heals me when he sings

Thump that Stella guitar like a wild bird flap her wings

 

Mississippi John Hurt sing about the candy man

His voice is sweet like bacon sizzling in a frying pan

 

Mississippi John Hurt’s voice smooth as spinach

Moss was a hardworking man washed in the blood of the cross
