| Pussycat |
and someone plays the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
the people join the sun
and the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi falls down to the sea
and lovers found the place thhhey'd like to be
how many times before the song was ending
love and understanding
everywhere around
Mississippi, I'll remember you
whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
that I will be returning again
Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
everytime I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
until the end of time
Now the country song for ever lost its soul
when the guitar player turned to rock & roll
and everytime when the summernights are falling
I will always be calling dreams of yesterday
Mississippi was a popular single by Dutch group Pussycat. Written by Werner Theunissen and produced by Eddy Hilberts, Mississippi was the sole number one single for Pussycat, spending four weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in October 1976. The song was promoted by John Saunders Hughes in the UK through a Liverpool radio station. The lyrics are about the history of music, how rock music became more popular than country music.
Another version of this song was recorded by Barbara Fairchild.
