Muddy Mississippi Lyrics - 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
