Mississippi Flatland Blues

It was early in the morning
 I was almost out the door
 Got a call from my bossman
 Said, "I cannot use you no more"
 Got the Washington County
 Factory done shut down blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
 So I went out to Boeing
 I thought I'd be flying high
 They shut down and sold the parts
 And left me high and dry
 I got the Washington County
 Factory done shut down blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
 I got a job at Vlasic
 Puttin' pickles in a jar
 But they shut down and GMAC
 Came and took my car
 Got the Washington County
 Factory done shut down blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
 Cocaine took my fella
 The banker took my home
 The streets have got my children
 And I'm sitting here alone
 With the Washington County
 Factory done shut down blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
 I'm so blue and downhearted
 Almost lost my will
 Even thought of suicide
 I ain't fit to kill
 I got the Washington County
 Factory done shut down blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
 If the C & G makes enough money
 Fix their worn-out track
 Gonna hop a freight train
 I swear I ain't never coming back
 To Washington County
 Oh the factory done shut down blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
 Ain't no good news
 I got the Mississippi flatland blues
