      Phil Ochs had a good song about it too.

      And here’s to the government of Mississippi

      In the swamp of their bureaucracy they’re always bogging down

      And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns

      And they hope that no one sees the sights

      And no one hears the sounds

      And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown

      Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of

      Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of

      And here’s to the laws of Mississippi

      Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay

      While the Constitution’s drowning in an ocean of decay

      Unwed mothers should be sterilized, I’ve even heard them say

      Yes, corruption can be classic in the Mississippi way

      Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of

      Mississippi, find yourself another country to be part of
