MS SB2144

Designates "My Home Mississippi" by Delma Furniss as a second official state song of Mississippi, joining the existing official state song "Go, Mississippi" by Houston Davis.

Specifies the complete lyrics of "My Home Mississippi" consisting of five verses and a chorus set to modified 19th century American folk music.

Grants copyright permission from the song's author for state agencies, including the Division of Tourism and Mississippi Development Authority, to use "My Home Mississippi" to promote the state and its citizens.

Notes that multiple other states have multiple official state songs, including Tennessee (six), West Virginia (three), and Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, and Montana (two each).

Codifies the provision as Section 3-3-57 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 and takes effect upon passage.
