By the M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-humpback-humpback-I, Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans
(Mississippi)
And it flows right by my Tennessee home
Where history was made by Steamboat Bill
(Hooray for Billy)
M-E-M-P-H-I-S
Memphis is the town I mean

Way down yonder where the days are golden
There's a river that just keeps a-rollin'
What a wonderful thrill just to be
Down in Memphis, Tennessee

Humpback-humpback-I, Mississippi
Flowin' down to New Orleans
