[Chorus]
D
 Mississippi John Hurt, he's laid his burden down
G                                            D
 Mississippi John Hurt, he's laid his burden down
    A                                    G                       D
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
 
[Verse 1]
D
 Mississippi John Hurt, he heals me when he sings
G                                           D
 Mississippi John Hurt, he heals me when he sings
   A                                 G                  D
He thumped that Stella guitar like a wild bird flap her wings
 
[Verse 2]
D
 Mississippi John Hurt, he sang about the candy man
G                                               D
 Mississippi John Hurt, he sang about the candy man
    A                        G                    D
His voice is sweet as bacon, sizzle in the fryin' pan
 
[Chorus]
D
 Mississippi John Hurt, has laid his burden down
G                                            D
 Mississippi John Hurt, done laid his burden down
    A                                    G                       D
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground

[Verse 3]
D
Mississippi John Hurt's voice, smooth as spinach moss
G                                                D
Mississippi John Hurt's voice, smooth as spinach moss
      A                     G                          D
Was a hard-workin' man, was washed in the blood of the cross

    A                                    G                       D
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
    A                                    G                       D
His livin' soul's with a lovin' God, his bones in the cold, cold ground
