Something In The Dirt

I was born here in Clarksdale
Lived here since my birth
Well, there's magic in the music
Must be somethin' in the dirt

There's a drugstore on the corner
Where Robert Johnson used to play
Must somethin' in the dirt
Make Mr. Johnson moan that way

Well, I played my first gig at a place called Red's
11 years old, sneakin' out of bed
I didn't know it then but I understand it now
There is somethin' in the dirt and I'm tryna dig it out

Played my first gig at a place called Red's
11 years old, sneakin' out of bed
I didn't know it then but I understand it now
There is somethin' in the dirt and I'm tryna dig it out

I got cotton in my backyard
Sun is always shinin' bright
Must be somethin' in dirt that keeps it hot at night
Well, I'm right here next to the levee
It runs right by my house
Must be somethin' in the dirt that keeps the water out
