Lord why was I born in Mississippi, When it's so hard to get ahead Why was I born in Mississippi, When it's so hard to get ahead Every black child born in Mississippi You know the poor child is born dead When he came into the world The doctor spank him, the black baby cry When he came into the world The doctor spank him, the black baby cry Everybody thought he had a life And that's why the black baby died He will never speak his language The poor baby will never speak his mind Lord he will never speak his language The poor baby will never speak his mind The poor child will never know his mind Why in the world he's so poor Lord why was I born in Mississippi When it's so hard to get ahead Lord why was I born in Mississippi When it's so hard to get ahead Every black child born in Mississippi You know the poor child was born dead
