I'm goin' down to clarksdale got mississippi on my mind
i'm goin' down to clarksdale got mississippi on my mind
well they say down in clarksdale muddy water turns to wine
I got a woman down in clarksdale
she say i can't be true
she gonna hit me with her hoodoo boys
if'n i don't be true
i got a woman back home
don't you know she sayin' the same thing too
I stood at the crossroads hollerin'
have mercy on my soul
i stood at the crossroads hollerin'
have mercy on my soul
all this whiskey and womens, lord
begun to take its toll
Well i'm goin' down to clarksdale
to make my mojo right
well i'm goin' down to clarksdale
to make my mojo right
i got to get there by sundown
'cause a full moon be out tonight
you know i'm drinkin' t.n.t and i'm smokin' dynamite
i got to get there by sundown
'cause a full moon be out tonight
