Well I drove my girl to the corner store

She said she won’t drink red wine no more

Steps outside with a big brown jug

An’ offers me a swill of that Mississippi Mud

 

Mississippi Mud when the sun goes down

See the stars through her hair when my backs to the ground

Give me a smile when the sun comes up

Just my barefoot gal and that Mississippi Mud 

 

Well she said, “You should know I’m from North Caroline

Though I ain’t been back for a long, long time

But it feels like home, like a big warm hug

When I gets me a taste of that Mississippi Mud

 

Well she picks me up, spins me around

We dance around the kitchen ‘til the sun goes down

I’m lucky in life, lucky in love

With my barefoot gal and that Mississippi Mud
