Mississippi Mud Lyrics

Bobby: Hey, John, you evah been to Mississippi?
Johnny: No, man, but I sure would like to visit down there.
Bobby: You would? Well, I'll tell you what then, let us hop on a plane and went.
Johnny: O-kay, I hear it's very nice.
Bobby: It is, it is.
Johnny: When the sun goes down The tide goes out The people gather 'round And they all begin to shout.
Bobby: What?
Johnny: Hey, hey, Uncle Dud It's a treat to beat your feet On the Mississippi Mud. It's a treat to beat your feet On the Mississippi Mud.
Bobby: And what a dance do they do Lordy, ... how I'm tellin' you Why, they don't need no band They keep time by clappin their hand.
Both: Just as happy as a cow Chewin' on a cud When the people beat their feet On the Mississippi Mud.
Bobby: Lordy, ... how they play it Goodness, ... how they sway it There's Uncle George and cousin Jack Look at those fools peckin' on their back.
Johnny: What joy! That music thrills me.
