Captain Jack from Soddem & Begorrah! by TRI (Tactical Recording International)
The song Mississippi Country Farm Blues was written by Son House and was first recorded and released by Son House in 1931. TRI unlock their inner Captain Beefheart for an interpretation of Son’s commentary on hard labour down on Parchman Farm, now known as Mississippi State Penitentiary. Basically a commentary on state-sponsored slave labour.

Lyrics
Captain Jack (...after County Farm Blues by Son House)
DOWN SOUTH, WHEN YOU DO ANY-THING / THAT'S WRONG
DOWN SOUTH, WHEN YOU DO ANYTHING / THAT'S WRONG
DOWN SOUTH, WHEN YOU DO / ANYTHING / THAT'S WRONG
THEY'LL SURE PUT YOU DOWN ON THE COUNTRY FARM
THEY'LL PUT YOU UNDER "CAPTAIN JACK"
HE"LL SURE WRITE HIS NAME ACROSS YOUR BACK
YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF IN A DITCH WITH A GREAT BIG SPADE
YOU"LL WISH TO GOD THAT YOU'D NEVER BEEN MADE
ON A SUNDAY THE BOYS BE FEELIN' SAD
JUST WONDERIN' HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAD
