Me and Mark Twain were having us a ball Telling each other lies floating down from Hannibal With a bottle and a worm and 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 Gonna 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 and mind your own business
CHORUS
We were rounding St. Louie and heading for the coast When we picked up Chuck Berry in a little row boat With one oar in the water and one in the air A lightning rod for a white guitar
Then lightning struck once and lightning struck twice And I said if there's a God he sure ain't nice Chuck said God is an Indian giver I don't trust nothing but the Mississippi River
