Down the Mississippi
It's a long long way down the Mississippi
It's a long long way to New Orleans (New Orleans)
And my daddy plays a mean guitar
In some broken down old bar way down (Way down)
In New Orleans
Daddy never taught me any music
Denied me of my chance to play guitar
So I went north to find a band
And learn his style of music
Real old-fashioned country rock 'n' roll
It's a long (Long) long (Long) way down the Mississippi
It's a long (Long) long (Long) way to New Orleans (Down to New Orleans)
And my daddy plays a mean guitar
In some broken down old bar way down (Way down)
In New Orleans
I learned to play my daddy's kind of music
Developing my individual style
Soon he's gonna hear me play
The songs he loved so well
Real old-fashioned country rock 'n' roll
It's a long (Long) long (Long) way down the Mississippi
It's a long (Long) long (Long) way to New Orleans (Down to New Orleans)
And my daddy plays a mean guitar
In some broken down old bar way down (Way way way down)
In New Orleans
Way down (Way way way down)
In New Orleans
Way down (Way way way down)
In New Orleans
(Way down)
