Oh Missisippi, Oh Missisippi, My heart cries out for you in sadness

Tonight I'm prayin' tonight I'm sayin' Oh Lord please bless the train that takes me

I want to be where wintry winds don't blow

To Tishomingo, way down old Dixie way

Down where the southern moon swings low, That's where I want to go

Where southern folks are always gay, That's why you hear me say

Hear that old piano from down the avenue I smell the onions, I look around for you

I,m goin' to Tishomingo because I'm sad today I wish to linger way down old Dixie way

Way down in Missisippi among the cypress trees They get you dippy with their strange melodies

That sweet old someone coming through that door, It's Saturday and the band is playin

My weary heart cries out in pain, I wish I was back again, with a race in a place

To resist temptation I just can't refuse In Tishomingo I wish to linger

Honey, could we ask for more

Where they make you welcome all the time

Where they play the weary blues
