Song Description

a little ditty about the music that goes up and down the Mississippi River.

Lyrics

Way up north where the mighty Mississippi River head waters start to flow
That's the place where I come from and back to where I'll always go
But further down south past the point where the mighty Miss meats up with the Ohio
They got the stuff I love they got the Blues they got the country and the good old rock and roll.

Mississippi music, muddy waters running thru my veins
Take a steamboat to New orleans, listen to the Dixieland jazz band play.
Mississippi music got the creole, got the Tennessee waltz and the Memphis soul
Mississippi music just a big gumbo, from the Mini-Apple to the Gulf of Mexico.

Crawfish filet gumbo,
Laissez Le Bon Temps roulet
Further down south down by the mouth
You can hear the Neville Brothers playing Paci Way
And if you like the delta blues slide guitar pickers
You're gonna like the real Robert J.
Got the stuff I love, got the gospel, got the cajun
Gonna rock my blues away.

Mississippi music, muddy waters running thru my veins
Take a steamboat to New orleans, listen to the Dixieland jazz band play.
Mississippi music got the creole, got the St. Louis Blues and the Zydeco
Mississippi music just a big gumbo, from the Mini-Apple to the Gulf of Mexico.

Mississippi music, muddy waters running thru my veins
Take a steamboat to New orleans, listen to the Dixieland jazz band play.
Mississippi music got the creole, got the Tennessee waltz and the Memphis soul
Mississippi music just a big gumbo, from the Mini-Apple to the Gulf of Mexico.
From the Prince of Paisley to old Satchmo
From the Mini-Apple to the Gulf of Mexico.
