Mississippi Mud Lyrics

Mississippi Mud - Dinah Shore/Harry Barris

Written by:Dinah Shore

When the sun goes down the tide goes out

 

The people gather round and they all begin to shout

 

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

 

What a dance do they do

 

Lordly how I'm telling you

 

They don't need no band

 

They keep time by clapping their hand

 

Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud

When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

 

Lordly how they play it

 

Goodness how they sway it

Uncle Joe uncle Jim

 

How they pound the mire with vigor and vim

Joy that music thrills me

Boy it nearly kills me

What a show when they go

 

Say they beat it up either fast or slow

 

What a dance do they do

 

Lordly how I'm telling you

 

They don't need no band

 

They keep time by clapping their hand

 

Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud

When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

Beat on me beat

 

They just clapping their hand

 

 

When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud
