Вот все, что я мог понять:

For as [far] back as I can remember,

(An eagle had his plow on hold?????)

One those long old nights (be sad?)

Standing at the altar and (row???)

Down in Mississippi

Down in Mississippi

Down in Mississippi where I Was Born

Down in Mississippi where I Come From

Nothing I got against Mississippi,

It also was the home of my wife,

But I feel just like I'm a lucky man

Get away with my life

chorus

The had a hunt season on (???))

(If you shoot then?) you went to jail,

the season was always open on me,

Nobody leavin' no bail,

chorus
