Memphis, Tennessee is where I was born Mississippi is where I was grown into a man age 25 Jumpin’ in the mud, glad to be alive (Alternate live lyrics: Well back on the farm where I was born My barnyard where I was grown Out in the country down in the sticks Jumpin’ in the mud I would get my kicks) Beat yo’ feet(s) in the Mississippi mud! Well if you don’t know I ain’t gonna tell ya Well if you don’t know I ain’t gonna tell ya From now on your such a fellow Beat yo’ feet(s) in the Mississippi mud! I’m in the mud and the mud’s in me. Well if you don’t know I ain’t gonna tell ya From now on your such a fellow Words don’t count in a time like this Now you know just what I’m talkin’ about. Beat yo’ feet(s) in the Mississippi mud!
