New Mississippi Flag

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 #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 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 --- New Mississippi Flag - Old Crow Medicine Show
