Mississippi  (Pussycat) - STING 21710  (Tommy P Larsen)

 (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Well you can hear the country song from far
And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
Where all the lights go on - one by one
People enjoying the sun - and the wind takes it all away

 (Figure 1 & 3): The HEADS PROMENADE - go HALFWAY around

Come Down - PASS THE OCEAN now - EXTEND - GIRLS TRADE

SWING THRU - and the BOYS RUN - TAG THE LINE - all the way - LEADERS U-TURN BACK

TOUCH A QUARTER - SCOOTBACK - SWING the Girl and PROMENADE her

 (Figure 2 & 4): The HEADS PROMENADE - HALFWAY around

Come Down - SQUARE THRU FOUR - - - FOUR hands around - RIGHT AND LEFT THRU

PASS THRU - TRADE BY - TOUCH A QUARTER now

SCOOTBACK - SWING that Girl and PROMENADE her home

(Figure 1 & 2): Love and understanding - everywhere around

(Figure 3 & 4): I always will be calling - dreams of yesterday

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

Mississippi - - - I'll remember you - ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE
Whenever I shall go away - I'll be longing for the day
When I will be in Greenville again

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

Mississippi - - - you'll be on my mind
ALLEMANDE and WEAVE THE RING

Every time I hear this song
Mississippi rolls along - until the end of time

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Where you can hear a country song from far
And someone plays the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
The people enjoying the sun
And the wind takes it away

Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they'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 in Greenville again

Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
Every time 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 every time when the summer nights are falling
I will always be calling dreams of yesterday
