- Chorus:
- On the Mississippi, On the
Mississippi,
Where those boats go puffin' along.
On the Mississippi, People all go dippy,
When they hear a little bit of ragtime melody.
It seems I hear them singing, See them buck and winging,
To the banjos ringing, Oh, my heart is clinging,
To the Mississippi, Dear old Mississippi,
That's where I was born.
