| Well, 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» |
| 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’re rounding St. Louis and heading for the coast |
| When we pick up Chuck Berry in a little rowboat |
| With one oar in the water and one in the air |
| A lightning rod for a white guitar |
| And lightning struck once, and lightning struck twice |
| And I said «If there’s a God, He sure ain’t nice» |
| And Chuck said «God is an Indian giver |
| I don’t trust nothing but the Mississippi River» |
| 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 |
