Down the Mississippi Lyrics by Judy Stone

All the Best

0

[Chorus]
It's a long, long way down the Mississippi
It's a long, long way to New Orleans (New Orleans)
And my daddy plays a mean guitar in some broken town so far away
Down to New Orleans
[Verse 1]
And Daddy never taught me any music
Denied me of my chance to play guitar
So I went north to find a band and learned his style of music
Some good old-fashioned country rock and roll
[Chorus]
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 so far away
Down to New Orleans
[Verse 2]
I've learned to play my daddy's a-kind of music
A-playin' my individual style
And soon he's gonna hear me sing the songs he loved so well
A real old-fashioned country rock and roll
[Chorus]
'Cause 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 so far away
Down to New Orleans
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 so far away
Down to New Orleans
[Outro]
Way way down to New Orleans
Way way down to New Orleans
