There's a hunger that food nor drink can quench
& A desire borne of my heart that quiets my head
I'm waiting for it to bear the fruit of its seed
But I wait in vain; it has no mind or matter ‘bout me
So I'm calling all Mississippi men
Follow that Northern star to me
I'm calling all Mississippi men
I ain't the one in need
It's a dark world indeed
Music's the only thing that'll save my soul
I could stay on that chord all day & I'd still feel whole
There's a cryin' in my belly & a whisper from the old
Sayin' where did you go?
Oh where did we go?
Beauty blinds the eyes & gluttony reigns
Oh but it ain't beauty at all,‘cause it's all the same
Fear may tie himself in silken ribbons
You think its others, but it's you that's thinkin'
There were men who wouldn't be tamed, so I won't be tamed
So I'm calling all Mississippi men
Follow that Northern star to me
I'm calling all Mississippi men
I ain't the one in need
It's a dark world indeed
