M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
Right in the middle of the Cottonmouth
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Right in the middle of the Cottonmouth
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Where in last year's possible
Smackdown in the Mississippi Delta
Had me a little bit of Johnny Cake
A little bit of that apple band out
Pickin' and scoopin' arms off the bandwagon
My jigger bite going to be howdy
Ate me a bucket of a muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
Drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bar
One Rio re-re-re-and
Fiddlin' as we pause to make a rejoin query quay
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
Right in the middle of the Cottonmouth
Down in the Mississippi Delta
Where in last year's possible
Smackdown in the Mississippi Delta
Sittin' there scratchin' my steely bite
So hot she done gave him the slip
Watchin' the mornin' glories grow
But let's see on and over my true
I bet five dollars you win two bits
Eat a peppermint stick on Sunday
Ain't no use in a hurryin' up
Can't leave till the week was Monday
One Rio re-re-re-and
Fiddlin' as we pause to make a rejoin query quay
In the Mississippi Delta
Mississippi, Mississippi Delta
Mississippi, Mississippi Delta
Mississippi, Mississippi Delta
