Where the Blues Was Born lyrics

[Verse 1] Dust on Highway 61 and a slide across the strings Cotton fields to the horizon where the Delta sun still stings A crossroads down in Clarksdale where a legend made his deal Mississippi, you're the river and the reason that I feel [Chorus] Where the blues was born, under magnolia shade Mockingbird is singing every song that's ever made From Tupelo to Biloxi, from Natchez to the sea Mississippi, you're the music in me [Verse 2] A boy from Tupelo went out and shook the whole wide world Oxford in October with the autumn leaves unfurled Shrimp boats on the Gulf Coast and catfish on the plate Mississippi, you're the sound that's always running late [Chorus] Where the blues was born, under magnolia shade Mockingbird is singing every song that's ever made From Tupelo to Biloxi, from Natchez to the sea Mississippi, you're the music in me [Bridge] A writer penned it, a guitar legend played it, a rock and roll king set it free Mississippi, you're the birthplace of the beat [Chorus] Where the blues was born, under magnolia shade Mockingbird is singing every song that's ever made From Tupelo to Biloxi, from Natchez to the sea Mississippi, you're the music in me

Lines explained

“A crossroads down in Clarksdale where a legend made his deal”

This line refers to the legend of Robert Johnson, a blues musician said to have sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi, in exchange for musical talent.

“A boy from Tupelo went out and shook the whole wide world”

This is a clear reference to Elvis Presley, who was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and became a global rock and roll icon.

“Mississippi, you're the sound that's always running late”

The phrase 'running late' here is a playful way to describe the laid-back, unhurried pace often associated with the Southern United States, and perhaps the timeless, enduring quality of its music.
