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 there's 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 won't work fo` a livin
And live life leisurely
Pull up a screen porch
Flop out in a rockin' chair
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
