Me & Mark Twain were having us a ball
Telling each other lies floating down from Hannibal
With a bottle & a worm & a cane pole
We were fishing for secrets where the catfish crawl
And the Mississippi River´s flowing downstream
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
Going to meet you in the water somewhere downstream
Well we picked up Harry Truman floating down from Independence
We said what about the war, he said good riddance
We said what about the bomb, are you sorry that you did it
He said pass me that bottle & mind your own business
CHORUS
We were rounding St. Louie & heading for the coast
When we picked up Chuck Berry in a little row boat
With one oar in the water & one in the air
A lightning rod for a white guitar
Then lightning struck once & lightning struck twice
And I said if theres a God he sure aint nice
Chuck said God is an Indian giver
I do not trust nothing but the Mississippi River
CHORUS
