I don't know this if y'all have a dope problem in Atlanta

But I know that, uh, in Jackson, Mississippi

There has been actually marijuana sold on the streets

They out, they out, in the street selling it

The police can not contain all the marijuana that's in Jackson, that's the truth

I was born in Soso Mississippi, ain't that cool?

Well, the folks at Soso, the Lord knows, they sure can groove

We used to wait for Little Richard on the radio

Waiting for another fat domino

Oh, oh-oh

Oh, Lord, You gotta help me through these low-down Magnolia Blues

Mississippi friend used to sing me the low-down blues

We all had a hard time, but we'd find somethin' to do (oh-oh, oh-oh)

I played the Two Finger Boogie just as hard as I could

Little Black Charlie used to dance so good, ooh, ooh

Oh, Lord, You gotta help me through these low-down Magnolia Blues

Soso Mississippi (sweet Magnolia Blues)

Soso Mississippi (sweet Magnolia Blues, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh

I played the Two Finger Boogie just as hard as I could

Little Black Charlie used to dance so good, ooh, ooh

Oh, Lord, you gotta help me through these low-down Magnolia Blues

Down in Soso Mississippi (sweet Magnolia Blues)

Soso Mississippi (sweet Magnolia Blues)

Soso Mississippi (sweet Magnolia Blues, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, Soso blues

But if you've ever seen somebody high on marijuana

Uh, you can tell their cuticles are dilated

Now, I learned that in the Nar-

In the Narcotics Training Prevention in Tupelo, Mississippi

They teach that every six months

And we went up there, and, to see it

And they had a boy that, that tried that marijuana pill

And, uh, his eyes rolled back upon his head

And he liked it, he liked to kick over

He was shakin', and uh, hollerin', uh

He was hollerin' that trip out just as loud as he could

And that's what he was

He's actually what they call freaking out
