Mississippi
Flowing down to New Orleans
(Mississippi)

And it flows right by to my Tennessee home
Where history was made by Steamboat Bill
M.E.M.P.H.I.S.
Memphis is the town, I mean

Way down yonder where the days are golden
There's a river that just keeps a-rollin'
What a wonderful thrill just to be
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
