Bob Dylan in Mississippi
Andria Lisle, Oxford American, The, Summer 1999
"Oxford Town in the afternoon,
Evrybody singin a sorrowful tune.
Two men died neath the Mississippi moon,
Somebody better investigate soon.
Oxford Town, Oxford Town,
Evrybodys got their heads bowed down.
The sun dont shine above the ground,
Aint a-goin down to Oxford Town."
