Tekst piosenki
Deep in the heart of Dixie
Where cotton’s still the king
If you slide on down to the delta
You can hear those banjos ring
Might be the muddy water
Comes in the spring with the rain
Or a poor boy down on parchment farm
At the end of a ball and chain
Singing one Mississippi is a long time
Gone in the blink of an eye
Two Mississippi is a lifetime
The years just drift on by
M I S S I S S I P P I If you stand on the banks of the river
As the evening sun goes down
When the cattails shake and shiver
You can hear that lonesome sound
Might be the moon on the water
Or the old gray ghost in the trees
Or the scent of the sweet magnolia
Rising on the breeze
Singing one Mississippi is a long time
The days just drift on by
M I S S I S S I P P I And the riverboat floats by like a ghost
On its way down to New Orleans
The paddle wheel turns the coal smoke burns
From the heart of the delta queen
If you head on past the levee
Down a road that’s got no name
There’s a white cross on the hillside
And the sign says 'Jesus Saves'
And when that congregation
Began to sing and shout
You could hear the rafters rattle
In the land of the cottonmouth
Singing one Mississippi is a long time
The days just drift on by
M I S S I S S I P P I
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Deep in the heart of Dixie
Where cotton ' s still THE king
If you slide on down to the delta
Słychać ten dźwięk banjo.
To może być błotnista woda.
Comes in the spring with the rain
Albo biednego chłopca na farmie pergaminów.
At the end of a ball and chain
"One Mississippi is a long time"
Gone in the mrugnięcie okiem
Dwie Mississippi to całe życie
The years just drift on by
M I S S I S S I P P I If you stand on the banks of the river
As the evening sun goes down
When the cattails shake and shiver
You can hear that lonesome sound
Może księżyc na wodzie
Albo stary szary duch w drzewach
Albo zapach słodkiej magnolii
Rising on the breeze
"One Mississippi is a long time"
The days just drift on by
M I S S I S S I P P I The riverboat floats by like a ghost
W drodze do Nowego Orleanu
/ Align = "left" /
From the heart of the delta queen
If you head on fast the levee
Down a road that ' s got no name
Na zboczu wzgórza stoi biały krzyż.
A znak mówi: "Jezus zbawia"
A kiedy to zgromadzenie
Zaczął śpiewać i krzyczeć
Słychać było trzaski krokwi.
In the land of the cottonmouth
"One Mississippi is a long time"
The days just drift on by
M I S S I S S I P P I
