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
And 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
