Down in Mississipi Songtext
von Barbara Ray

It′s a long long way down the Mississippi
It's a long long way to New Orleans
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
Oh faraway down to New Orleans

Daddy never taught me any music
Denied me of my chance to play guitar
So I went North to find a band that learned his style of music
Real old fashioned country rock and roll

It′s a long long way down the Mississippi
It's a long long way to New Orleans And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
Oh faraway down to New Orleans


I've learned to play my daddy′s kind of music
Developing my individual style
And soon he′s gonna hear me play
The songs he love so well
Real old fashioned country rock and roll

It's a long long way down the Mississippi
It′s a long long way to New Orleans
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town
Oh faraway down to New Orleans

Way way down
To New Orleans

Way way down
To New Orleans

Way down
