In the Mississippi Rivers
 (Lord! Lord! Lord! lord!)
 In the Mississippi Rivers
 (Lord! Lord! Lord! lord!)
 In the Mississippi Rivers
 Well, now you can count them one by one
 It could be your son
 And you can count them two by two
 It could be me or you
 And you can count them three by three
 Now don't you wanna see?
 And you can count them four by four
 Oh, well, uh, into the river they go
 Oh, well, uh, into the river they go
 And you can count them five by five
 Nah, they don't come out alive
 Now you can count them six by six
 Huh, in Mississippi, they got it fixed
 Then you can count them seven by seven
 Mississippi, it ain't no heaven
 And you can count them eight by eight
 And they were thrown in because of hate
 Then you can count them nine by nine
 In Mississippi, this ain't no crime
 You can count them ten by ten
 And you will wonder when the right will win
 And you will wonder when the right will win
 In the Mississippi River
 (Lord! Lord! Lord! lord!)
 In the Mississippi River
 (Lord! Lord! Lord! lord!)
 In the Mississippi River
 Well, we got to stop them from goin' in the river
 Got to stop them from goin' in the river
 Got to stop them from goin' in the river
 Got to stop them from goin' in the river
 Got to stop them
 Hmm, hmm, hmm
 ♪
 In the Mississippi Rivers
 (Lord! Lord! Lord! lord!)
 In the Mississippi River
 (Lord! Lord! Lord! lord!)
 In the Mississippi River
 Well, we got to stop them from goin' to the river
 Got to stop them from goin' to the river
 Stop them
