Bobbie Gentry - Mississippi Delta (1967)

[dying2self2000]

psychedelic country and swampy rocker

[skodiacs]

Love to hear this song again; what a swampy rocker

[Zhaborable]

She was so sexy, earthy, and oh so Southern!

[BBQFanNo1]

There has usually got to be brain fart fucktards on You Tube like the two people who clicked disliked this song video.

[c7i6abc]

When I was 16, this was one of my favourite songs. I always played both sides of my 45's and found a few great song that way.

This is the "B" side of Ode to Billie Joe. The "B" side of Indian Giver is Pow Wow, and if you spin the record backwards, you will it singing normally, singing Howdy Doody Time!

[REDMEAT1969]

@c7i6abc no,,,Ode to Billie Joe was the "B" side of THIS song.....

[1stpastorswife1958]

My sister and I used to sing this she was 6 I was 9! That's how we learned to Mississippi!

[JayBBluejay]

Should be the official anthem of the Mississippi Delta region.

[kinkybeatle]

B-side of ODE TO BILLIE JOE, a monster track of its own kind. Should have been a A-side !!!!!!!!!!

[JayBBluejay]

@kinkybeatle I think Capitol Records released this song as the A-side. However, the other side of the record put Bobbie Gentry (born in Chickasaw County, MS, raised in Greenwood, MS and then Los Angeles were she graduated from high school and attended UCLA) on the map-Ode to Billie Joe. Bobbie Gentry is proof you can take the girl out of the Mississippi Delta but you can't take it out of her.

Researched the lyrics (could never understand all of them). Does anyone know the origins of this? "One-ree-o-ree-ee-reeanni

Fidderliss-farce-nickory-john-­queery-quan"

[57timmyb]

@bethanycat I believe it has roots in an old southern voodoo hex.

[MsPoppy04]

love her....a fellow chickasaw county child :)

[steviesoul76]

This song probably once had a place on the R&B charts. It's loaded with soul.

[JesusmyKing4Life]

[skynyrdfan56]

There`s a hard rock version by "The Godz" from Ohio also. They call this

song just "Mississippi".

[AJPLJSS]

I've got the 45, and came here hoping for some footage to match. But glad to find this posted, just the same. How about those Muscle Shoals session players? Hot arrangement.
