Mississippi

by Red Foley

Lyrics
(M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I)
By The M I crooked letter, crooker 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
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
By The M I crooked letter, crooker letter, I crooked
letter, crooked letter I
Hump-back, hump-back I of Mississippi flowing down to
New Orleans

By The M I crooked letter, crooker 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
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

By The M I crooked letter, crooker letter, I crooked
letter, crooked letter I
Hump-back, hump-back I of Mississippi flowing down to
New Orleans
