"Mississippi John Hurt" lyrics

"Mississippi John Hurt"
(feat. Pam Tillis)

Mississippi John Hurt has laid his burden down
Mississippi John Hurt done laid his burden down
His living soul's with a loving God, his bones' in the cold cold ground

Mississippi John Hurt heals me when he sings
Thump that Stella guitar like a wild bird flap her wings

Mississippi John Hurt sing about the candy man
His voice is sweet like bacon sizzling in a frying pan

Mississippi John Hurt's voice smooth as spinach
Moss was a hardworking man washed in the blood of the cross
