si kahn - mississippi summer (live) lyrics
[verse 1]
my hands are as cracked as an august field
that’s burned in the sun for a hundred years
with furrows so deep you could hide yourself
but i ain’t chopping cotton no more this year
i’ll just sit on the porch with my eagle eye
and watch for a change of wind
the rows are as straight as a shotgun barrel
as long as a bullet can spin
[chorus]
you know how hot it gets in mississippi
you know how dry it gets in the summer sun
the dust clouds swirl all down the delta
i just hope that i don’t die ‘fore the harvest comes
[verse 2]
black clouds gathering on the edge of town
but no rain’s gonna fall on us
hoes rise and fall in a distant field
earth takes a bеating for all of us
i thought i heard the angel of dеath overhead
but it’s only the cropduster’s plane
hoes rise and fall like the beating of wings
lord, send us freedom and rain
[chorus]
you know how hot it gets in mississippi
you know how dry it gets in the summer sun
the dust clouds swirl all down the delta
i just hope that i don’t die ‘fore the harvest comes
