Mississippi - Original - Kay Starr
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
