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
