lyrics

Lost my job, lost my home
Lost everything I, I ever owned
My sweet home people, everything I ever owned
Almost lost my mind
Left it all behind
In Yazoo City

I use to ship that cotton
On the Yazoo River
Clean down to New Orleans
Stoppin’ in Vicksburg
Bound for New Orleans
When the Greenville levee broke
Water rose all over Yazoo City

Tryin’ to sleep at night
In a Red Cross tent
Homeless folks just like me
Sleepin’ in the tents people
Homeless folks just like me
Lord, I used to lay my head
On a fine feather bed
In Yazoo City

Once I get to Memphis
Won’t be no stoppin’ there
Might head for California
Start over somewhere, California
They say black folks better off
Out there
I might sail the Seven Seas
But my home will always be
In Yazoo City, Yes it will

Lost my way of talkin’
My ol’ southern way o’ walkin’
The things I used to do, people
I , I don’t do anymore
Oh the things I use to do Lord
I just don’t do anymore
Well when they introduce me
They say, here come the man that used to be
From Yazoo City
