Old Mr. Deville, from up in Clarksdale, shot his brother with a pop pop pop
          C5                                                                   G5
spent twenty years of hard time, before he saw the light
               D5                                          C5                              G5
now he's preaching on the corner of a Mississippi Saturday night.

G5
Drive by the pawn shop bail bond motel, dream all you want you ain't going nowhere
      C5                                                             G5
the ladies at the juke joint, are looking for a fight 
                 D5                                       C5                              G5
and they'll hunt you like a rabbit on a Mississippi Saturday night.


(Chorus)
C5
Vicksburg, Natchez, down to Crescent City 
      G5
the Gulf Coast blues oh it sure is a pity
         D5
don't make a lot of money, baby thats alright
          G5
cause we make a lot of loving on a Mississippi Saturday night.


(Verse 2)
G5
Old Mr. Simon from Hushpuckena, he's having coffee with your maw maw and your paw paw
              C5                                                                      G5
if you're messing with his daughter you better treat her right
            D5                                         C5                              G5
or he'll tree you like a possum on a Mississippi Saturday night.


(Chorus)
C5
Vicksburg, Natchez, down to Crescent City 
      G5
the Gulf Coast blues oh it sure is a pity
         D5

cause we make a lot of loving on a Mississippi Saturday night.


(Verse 3)
G5
Drive to the ballpark, out by the Wal-Mart, parked on the levee drinking forties in a Skylark
C5                                                      G5
people on the river are hoping for a bite
                        D5                             C5                              G5
whole mess of catfish cooking on a Mississippi Saturday night.

G5
Old Mr. Hayward, sings like a jaybird, more like a jailbird inside a FEMA trailer
        C5                                                              D5
your gonna need a pirogue, the waters getting high
                   D5                                    C5                              G5
or you'll be sleeping in the river on a Mississippi Saturday night.


(Chorus)
C5
Vicksburg, Natchez, down to Crescent City
