Tommy Talton – Sunk Down In Mississippi lyrics
O, friend of mine
I guess she finally sunk you down
O, friend of mine
I guess she finally sunk you down
You never let the woman own you
But the poison and pneumonia
Put you six feet in the ground

The woman turned your head
And blinded both your big, brown eyes
Yeah, the woman turned your head
And blinded both your big, brown eyes
You knew the girl was married
Now you’re six feet deep and buried
I hope that love was fine

You don’t have to worry now
She took you for the final time
Rest easy now
You’re way beyond the Mississippi line
Yeah, you’re six feet deep and buried
You knew the girl was married
I hope that love was fine
You’re six feet deep and buried
You’re way beyond the Mississippi line

    This is a song to Robert Johnson, considered by many to be the grandfather of the blues. He was known to be a classy dressing stud who depended on the women wherever he played to give him a place to sleep, eat, and, well, you know. He was told often by his good friend Lonnie Brown that he should never take sips out of bottles given to him by strangers in these juke joints. Jealous boyfriends and jealous husbands weren't to be trusted! Well, apparently Robert did not take heed and was poisoned by a sip he took from a bottle given to him by exactly that, a jealous husband. He was weakened by the poison and eventually caught pneumonia, and back in 1936, if you caught pneumonia you were pretty much gone. Mr. Johnson knew the girl was married, and soon, he was six feet deep and buried. thank you for the music, Robert!
