M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

By the M, I crooked letter, crooked letter I
Crooked letter, crooked letter I
Cut back, cut back, I Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans (New Orleans)
It flows right by my Tennessee home
Where history was made by Steamboat Bill
(Floatin' down the river)
Give me M-P, H-I-S
Memphis is the town I mean
Way down yonder in the land of cotton
Folks like mine are never gotten
What a wonderful thrill, just to be
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
By the M, I crooked letter, crooked letter I
Crooked letter, crooked letter I
Cut back, cut back, I Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans
By the M, I crooked letter, crooked letter I
Crooked letter, crooked letter I
Cut back, cut back, I Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans
Well, it flows right by my Tennessee home
Where history was made by Steamboat Bill (Steamboat Bill)
Give me M-P, H-I-S
Memphis is the town I mean
Way down yonder in the land of cotton
Folks like mine are never gotten
What a wonderful thrill, just to be
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
By the M, I crooked letter, crooked letter I
Crooked letter, crooked letter I
Cut back, cut back, I Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans (Down the river)
Flowin' down to New Orleans
