The song below is titled, "MUDDY WATERS OF MISSISSIPPI". This song is very sacred to me and has been since I received it around 1980. The song itself was written over 50-years ago in the late 60's early 70's. The gentleman singing the song, I will not name. His family reached out to me Thanksgiving day and ask if I would please post this on my web site so they could hear it. This beautiful friend of mine singing this song, passed away at the age of 92 2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving. I'm the only one who has the master recording of this song. I have spent the better part of 2 days adding digital effects to the song to make it sound better. This song was written & recorded at Malico records in Jackson, MS. many years ago by my friend singing the song. He wrote this song for a TV documentary. The documentary never aired for reasons that can't be disclosed. My friend singing was very well known in the New Orleans, Memphis, New York, etc... music scene. You might want to put on headphones or use ear buds to better hear the words to the song. RIP my friend and thank you for being such a blessing and mentor in my life.
Muddy Waters of Mississippi
MUDDY WATERS OF MISSISSIPPI
A BOY CHILD BORN IN SOUTH MISSISSIPPI, WITH A SILVER SPOON IN HIS MOUTH
A MAGNOLIA TREE PLANTED, TO CELEBRATE THE GOLDEN CHILD OF THE SOUTH
SOME FOLKS WERE FILLED WITH JOY AND LOVE, SOME WITH EVIL INTENT
FOR THE FAMILY THAT BUILT NATCHEZ, THE LITTLE CITY ON A HILL
THE MOTHER VERY PROTECTIVE, THE FATHER BIG AND STRONG
GRAND PARENTS LIVING IN A MANSION, TOWN FOLK GETTING ALONG
FOUR EVIL MEN IN THE SHADOWS, MAKING PLANS FOR THE NIGHT
THE GOLDEN CHILD THE TARGET, THE RICH GRAND PARENTS IN THEIR SIGHT
THE MUDDY WATERS OF MISSISSIPPI, SPILL INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO
ALLIGATORS CREEPING THROUGH LOUISIANA SWAMPLAND, AS THE MUDDY RIVER FLOWS
THE MUDDY WATERS OF MISSISSIPPI, AND THE SECRETS THAT IT HOLDS
ARE BURIED ALONG THE BYWAY, ALL THE WAY TO THE GULF OF MEXICO
NINE YEAR OLD BOY CHILD DISAPPEARS, LIKE A VOODOO TRICK IN THE NIGHT
WHILE THE MOCKINGBIRD CRIED, THE CHILD WAS BEATEN AND DUMPED
IN THE LOUISIANA SWAMPS, BARELY HOLDING ON TO LIFE
WITH ALL THE STRENGTH THE CHILD HAD LEFT, THE CHILD BECAME A MAN
KILLING ONE EVIL MINDED LEADER, AND OUTSMARTING THREE EVIL MEN

LYRICS CONTINUE:
FIVE DAYS AND NIGHTS, RUNNING THROUGH THE SWAMPS, WITH ALLIGATORS AND THE SNAKES
THE SOUND OF BLOODHOUNDS ONE MISTY MORNING, FREEDOM THE CHILD COULD TASTE
TWO STATES SEARCHING FOR A NEEDLE, IN A SWAMP 18 MILES WIDE
TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE, THE BOY CHILD WAS IN REAL BAD SHAPE,
BUT THANKFULLY, STILL ALIVE
THREE EVIL MEN WILL DIE IN PRISON, AND THREE EVIL MEN WILL GO TO HELL
ONE EVIL MAN WILL GREET THEM, WHEN THEY ARRIVE
THE CHILD WILL LIVE IN A PRISON OF HIS OWN, MEMORIES AND NIGHTMARES
BUT IN TIME THE MUDDY WATERS OF MISSISSIPPI, WILL WASH THOSE EVIL MEMORIES AWAY
AND THE BOY CHILD WHO BECAME A MAN, AT AN EARLY AGE, WILL GIVE US ALL
HOPE, AND MAKE US ALL PROUD AGAIN ONE DAY
A BOY CHILD BORN IN SOUTH MISSISSIPPI, WITH A SILVER SPOON IN HIS MOUTH
A MAGNOLIA TREE PLANTED, TO CELEBRATE THE GOLDEN CHILD OF THE SOUTH
SOME FOLKS WERE FILLED WITH JOY AND LOVE, SOME WITH EVIL INTENT
FOR THE FAMILY THAT BUILT NATCHEZ, THE LITTLE CITY ON A HILL
