Intro: A

A
Down in Mississippi 
A
It's a perfect time of year
 A
To break out the jumper cables
 A
And try to crank this ol' John Deere 
A
I can't wait to fire it up 
A
And put er' into gear
 A
I know I should be hurtin'
A
But I'm smiling ear to ear

A         
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
A
I'm mowin down the roses
 D7
I'm mowin down the roses                          
                                             A
That you planted in our yard

A
I poured out your purty perfume 
A
Straight down the toilet bow
l A
And I ripped your face straight off the wall 
A
Left nothing but some holes 
A
I loaded up your closets 
A
Into fifteen garbage bags
 A
And I smoked with your potpourri 
A
On a burn pile in the back

A         
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
 A
I'm mowin down the roses 
D7
I'm mowin down the roses                  
                                              A
That you planted in our yard


A
Down in Mississippi
 A
Its getting perfectly clear
 A
That anything you used to love 
A
Just aint gonna grow round here

I'm mowing down the roses                         
                                             A
That you planted in our yard

A         
I'm mowin down the roses 
A
I'm mowin down the roses
 A
I'm mowin down the roses
