Lyrics
Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
His living soul's with the loving God
His bones in the cold, cold ground
Mississippi John Hurt, he heals me when he sings
Mississippi John Hurt, he heals me when he sings
He thumped that Stella guitar like a wallflower flopper whines
Mississippi John Hurt, he sang about the candy man
Mississippi John Hurt sang about the candy man
His voice as sweet as bacon sizzling in the frying pan
Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt done laid his burden down
His living soul's with the loving God
His bones in the cold, cold ground
Mississippi John Hurt's voice smooth as Spanish moss
Mississippi John Hurt's voice smooth as Spanish moss
Was a hard-working man, swashed in the blood of the cross
Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt done laid his burden down
His living soul's with the loving God
His bones in the cold, cold ground
His living soul's with the loving God
His bones in the cold, cold ground
