Kolvanna - Mississippi Rising (feat. George Williams)

Down in the county
The home where jazz wa bord
I saw the story
That made a nation mourn
The whole world was watching
Another tragedy unfold
They were helpless and crying
As the city lost its soul
Rain started falling
And the hurricane blows
You can hear the people calling
There ain't nowhere to go
As the levies start to crumble
There was no way to stop
The flood in the city
That hope forgot

Mississippi rising again
Fool on the hill won't help my friends
Mississippi rising again
Water's gonna take away
Everything I love

Sorry is heavy
As the waters they flow
Destroying the districts
So many called their home
They are brothers and sisters
Caught in the flood
A hard pill to swallow
To lose your own blood
Now the big easy

Will never be the same again
There is no forgiveness
Don't pretend to be my friend
This is honest old country
Built on southern pride
Yeah it will rise again
When the rivers have dried

Mississippi rising again
Fool on the hill won't help my friends
Mississippi rising again
Water's gonna take away
Mississippi rise
