Alba s touto skladbou:
I Loved Her First,
Bobby:
Hey, John, you evah been to Mississippi?
Johnny:
No, man, but I sure would like to visit down there.
Bobby:
You would?
Well, Iâll tell you what then, let us hop on a plane and went.
Johnny:
O-kay, I hear itâs very nice.
Bobby:
It is, it is.
Johnny:
When the sun goes down
The tide goes out
The people gather âround
And they all begin to shout.
Bobby:
What?
Johnny:
Hey, hey, Uncle Dud
Itâs a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
Itâs a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
Bobby:
And what a dance do they do
Lordy, ... how Iâm tellinâ you
Why, they donât need no band
They keep time by clappin their hand.
Both:
Just as happy as a cow
Chewinâ on a cud
When the people beat their feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
Bobby:
Lordy, ⌠how they play it
Goodness, ⌠how they sway it
Thereâs Uncle George and cousin Jack
Look at those fools peckinâ on their back.
Johnny:
What joy!
That music thrills me.
Bobby:
It do.
Johnny:
Boy, ... it nearly kills me
Sister Kate hollers, "Son!"
You sure get muddy
But, itâs mighty good fun
Both:
When the sun goes down
The tide goes out
The people gather round
And they all begin to shout.
Hey, Hey, Uncle Dud
Itâs a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud
Itâs a treat to beat your feet
On the Mississippi Mud.
Bobby:

Johnny:

Bobby:

Johnny:

Bobby:

Johnny:

On the M I double S I double S I double P I Mud.
Bobby:
An "A" for spelling.
