Muddy Mississippi — текст песни (The Charlie Daniels Band)

I was born in Memphis on the wrong side of town
Way back up in the projects
We didn`t have much bet there was music all around
That was something we could respect
Memphis got the rythm Memphis got the soul
And you know that`s a good sign
It`s the home of Elvis, he`s the king of rock & roll
And everybody had a good time

Willie`s on the corner with his dancing shoes
Perry`s in the alley cooking barbeque
BB`s down on Beale Street and he`s singing the blues

Everybody is alright
Ain`t nobody uptight
Dancing in the moonlight
Muddy Mississippi roll on

Old man river keeps on playing his song
It`ll get your fingers snapping
The first thing you know you`re kinda grooving along
And your feet will start to tapping

Have you ever been to Memphis on a Saturday night
When everything is cooking
The whole town`s rocking the music is hot and the girls are all good looking

The mighty Mississippi is muddy and wide
But there`s people driving over from the Arkansas side
Get on out amongst us and we`ll go for a ride

Hanging on the sidewalk
Talking all that jive talk
Nothing but a nighthawk
Muddy Mississippi roll on
