Mississippi
Mississippi river I'm goin' down to New Orleans
a by the M, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Humpback, humpback, I! Mississippi!
Flowin' down to New Orleans
And it flows right by my Tennessee home
Where history was made by steam boat Bill
M-E-M-P-H-I-S, Memphis is the town I mean!
A way down yonder in the land of cotton
Folks like mine are near forgotten
What a wonderful thrill! It is to be, down in Memphis, Tennessee
A by the M, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Humpback, humpback, I! Mississippi!
Flowin' down to New Orleans
By the M, I, crooked letter, I
Crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Humpback, humpback, I! Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans
Watch it flow and ride along
Where history was made by steam boat Bill
M-E-M-P-H-I-S, Memphis is the town I mean
A way down yonder in the land of cotton
Folks like mine are near forgotten
What a wonderful thrill! It is to be down in Memphis, Tennessee
A by the M, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Humpback, humpback, I! Mississippi
Flowin', down to New Orleans
