(V1)
I left my home down in Violet Louisiana, got that
Muddy water when the river’s high
I caught a flatboat up the mighty Mississippi, gonna
Ride that river til the day I die
(Chorus)
That Mississippi, that Mississippi
That Mississippi got a hold on me, I got
Miles and miles of muddy water left to Memphis
That Mississippi River got a hold on me
<Musical Interlude>
(V2)
Oh take me back to that home in Louisiana, give me
Alligator, give me crawfish pie
I don’t know much about the life that I’ve been living
But I’ll ride that river ‘til the day I die
(Chorus)
That Mississippi, that Mississippi
That Mississippi got a hold on me, I got
Miles and miles of muddy water left to Memphis
That Mississippi River got a hold on me
<Musical Interlude>
(Chorus)
That Mississippi, that Mississippi
That Mississippi got a hold on me, I got
Miles and miles of muddy water left to Memphis (Hold for a few seconds)
That Mississippi River got a hold on me
