Текст песни: Mississippi + перевод

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 rhythm 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 barbecue

BB’s down on Beale Street and he’s singing the blues

Everybody is all right, 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 side-walk, Talking all that jive talk

Nothing but a nighthawk, Muddy Mississippi roll on

Muddy Mississippi roll on
