paroles de chanson New Mississippi Flag - Old Crow Medicine Show

She'll be the color of the big muddy
Green as a burial mound
Gold like stars twinkling on a sleepy little delta town
In the middle, put a big magnolia
Raise her up from the capitol ground
When the brand-new Mississippi flag goes flying

She'll have a diamond for Elvis, Eudora Welty lines
Railroad dust for the brakemen singing Blue Yodel No. 9
She'll have a stripe for Robert Johnson, and one for Charlie Pride

When the brand-new Mississippi flag
When the brand-new Mississippi flag
When the brand-new Mississippi flag goes flying

And she can take the wind or a hurricane
Rattling chains and all the pain
And still she stands and proudly she waves
Yes, and it's high time that she honors all
The ones that justice never called
And all her sons and daughters who died on the road to change

She'll be the color of the big muddy
For the river that gave her life
And carried us to the crossroads of doing wrong and making right
I love you, Mississippi, and I won't be ashamed to cry

When the brand-new Mississippi flag
When the brand-new Mississippi flag
When the brand-new Mississippi flag goes flying
