Where you can hear a country song from far
And someone play the honky-tonk guitar,
Where all the lights will go out one by one,
The people join the song and the wind takes it away,
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they’d like to be,
How many times before the song was ending,
Love and understanding everywhere around.
Mississippi,
I’ll remember you.
Whenever I should go away,
I’ll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again.
Mississippi,
You’ll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song.
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time.
Now the country song forever lost its soul
When the guitar player turned to rock ’n’ roll.
And every time when summer nights are fallin’,
I will always be recallin’ dreams of yesterday.
Mississippi,
I’ll remember you.
Whenever I should go away,
I’ll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville
