Testo Mississippi Mud - Bing Crosby

Testo della canzone Mississippi Mud (Bing Crosby), tratta dall'album 1928 Hits (Remastered)

What are you fellas moanin' about?
That Mississippi mud
When the sun goes down, the tide goes out
The darkies gather 'round and they all begin to shout
"Hey, hey, Uncle Dud"
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
Oh, what a dance do they do
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clappin' their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the darkies beat their feet on the Mississippi mud
Lordy, how they play it
Boy, they really sway it
Say, that music thrills me
Boy, it nearly kills me
When the sun goes down, the tide goes out
The darkies gather 'round and they all begin to shout
"Hey, hey, Uncle Dud"
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
Oh, what a dance do they do
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clappin' their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the darkies beat their feet on the Mississippi mud
Did you say mud there, boy?
I said mud, son
What are you gettin' at, lad?
I said really black mud
Well, speakin' of mud and rain always reminds me
Reminds you of what?
That I left my sugar standing in the rain
And my sugar melted away
His sugar melted away, I said his sugar melted away
Sweeter than the sugar from a sugarcane
Why, I didn't mean to treat her that way
He didn't mean to treat her that way?
Why did you treat that girl that way?
I don't know
I'll bet your sweetie thought that you were the lowest kind of a kind
Maybe
You never realized she was so refined, now, did you?
Irregardless and respected
I just left my sugar standing in the rain
And my sugar melted away
"Hey, hey, Uncle Dud"
What a dance do they do
Lordy, how I'm tellin' you
They don't need no band
They keep time by clappin' their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the darkies beat their feet
Said the darkies beat their feet
Said the darkies beat their feet on the Mississippi mud
But I left my sugar
Where'd you leave your sugar?
Standing in the mud
In the mud?
I'll bet she's plenty muddy now
