MISSISSIPPI Lyrics

(M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I)

CHORUS:
By the M, I crooked letter, crooked letter, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I
Hump-back, hump-back, I of Mississippi flowing down to New Orleans
It flows right by my Tennessee home where history was make by Steamboat Bill (floating down the river)
M-E-M-P-H-I-S, Memphis is the town I mean

Way down yonder in the land of cotton, folks like mine are ne'er forgotten
What a wonderful thrill just to be down in Memphis, Tennessee
[CHORUS 2x]

Well, it flows right by my Tennessee home where history was make by Steamboat Bill (Steamboat Bill)
M-E-M-P-H-I-S, Memphis is the town I mean

Way down yonder in the land of cotton, folks like mine are ne'er forgotten
What a wonderful thrill just to be down in Memphis, Tennessee

[CHORUS]
