Lyrics
Chorus
I’m goin’ to Tishomingo, because I’m sad today
I wish to linger, way down old Dixie way
Oh my weary heart cries out in pain
Oh how I wish that I was back again
With a race, in a place
Where they make you welcome all the time
Way down in Mississippi, among the cypress trees
They get you dippy, with their strange melodies
To resist temptation, I just can’t refuse
In Tishomingo, I wish to linger
Where they play the weary blues
Performance
