Down the Mississippi
It's a long, long way down the Mississippi
It's a long, long way to New Orleans
And my daddy plays a mean guitar
In some broken down old bar way down
To New Orleans
Daddy never taught me any music
Denied me of my chance to play guitar
So I went North to find a band
That learned his style of music
Real old fashioned country rock and roll
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)
To New Orleans
I've 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 and roll
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)
To New Orleans
Way, way down (Way down)
To New Orleans
Way, way down (Way down)
To New Orleans
(Way down)
