Natchez Burning

Did you ever hear about the burnin'
That happened way down in Natchez Mississippi town
Did you ever hear about the burnin'
Happened way down in Natchez Mississippi town
The old buildings started burnin'
There's my baby layin' on the ground

Charlotte Jones over there
Luiza over there
Rosie Mae over there
Louise was there

Did you ever hear about the burnin'
That happened way down in Natchez Mississippi town
I stood back, was lookin'
And once the old building come tumblin' down

The old buildings started burnin'
There's my baby layin' on the ground
