The Magnolia Flag 1861-94
"Go, Mississippi"
Official State Song
Words and Music by Houston Davis
Verse:States
may sing their songs of praise
With waving flags and hip-hoo-rays,
Let cymbals crash and let bells ring
Cause here's one song I'm proud to sing.
Choruses:
Go, Mississippi, keep rolling along,
Go, Mississippi, you cannot go wrong,
Go, Mississippi, we're singing your song,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
Go, Mississippi, you're on the right track,
Go, Mississippi, and this is a fact,
Go, Mississippi, you'll never look back,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
Go, Mississippi, straight down the line,
Go, Mississippi, ev'rything's fine,
Go, Mississippi, it's your state and mine,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
Go, Mississippi, continue to roll,
Go, Mississippi, the top is the goal,
Go, Mississippi, you'll have and you'll hold,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
Go, Mississippi, get up and go,
Go, Mississippi, let the world know,
That our Mississippi is leading the show,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

2002 REGULAR SESSION GETS UNDER WAY
|
| The 2002 Regular Session of the
Mississippi Legislature kicked off at high noon on Tuesday, January 8,
2002. The 90-day session is scheduled to adjourn sine die on
Sunday, April 7.
There is universal agreement that
budget considerations will dominate the Session. With the nation in a
recession, and particularly after the tragedy of September 11, the
economies of Mississippi and her sister states have stagnated. As a
consequence, revenues coming into state coffers have slowed
dramatically, and state governments find themselves with less money
available to provide the same level of services enjoyed by citizens
last year, much less to provide any increase or enhancement of state
services. The Mississippi Legislature is firm in resisting calls for
any tax increase at the state level, so this means that cuts will be
made in the expenditures of the great majority, if not all, of state
agencies and departments.
 I
take my title of "Representative" very seriously and,
indeed, quite literally. In order to represent you best, I need to
hear from you. This web site is designed as a tool to allow you easy
access to information about your state government, and to provide you
a convenient method to contact me at the Capitol via e-mail. Or, if
you’d prefer, simply telephone me at 601-693-5700 (my Meridian
office) or 601-527-5350 (cell phone). While I’m in session, the best
way to contact me, by far, is by e-mail at greg@gregsnowden.com.
I hope you’ll let me hear from you as
the Legislature works through the 2002 Session. Whenever I walk into
the House chamber to take my seat, I am acutely aware both of the high
privilege and of the heavy responsibility of representing the people
of Meridian and Lauderdale County. But if I am to do my job as best as
I can, I need your input. Please do not hesitate to give it.
Greg
Snowden, State Representative
District 83 (Lauderdale County)
