I is just what I was
And am aint who I be
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi

Ax ya x what talks in tongues
Say: never mo neither me
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi

Stayin by my mamas
In slippers and pajamas
Where theres always somethin good to eat
Bettin strawberries
Honey and cherries
And pecan-pies oh so sweet

With a dew-rag on my brow
Jasmine, wysteria and fleur-de-lis
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi

If you wont work fo a livin
And live life leisurely
Pull up a screen po-ch
Flop out in a rockin chair
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the mississippi
