"Mississippi" is the second song on Bob Dylan's 2001 album "Love and Theft". The song was originally recorded during the Time Out of Mind sessions, but was ultimately left off the album; Dylan rerecorded the song for "Love and Theft" in May of 2001.

Sheryl Crow would later rework the song's melody, phrasing, and arrangement, and record it for The Globe Sessions, released in 1998, before Dylan revisited it for "Love and Theft". Subsequently the Dixie Chicks would make it a mainstay of their Top of the World, Vote for Change, and Accidents & Accusations Tours, in an approach that substantially followed Crow's.
