[Verse 1]
[D]Whe[Bb]n the[D] s[A]un goes [D]down,

[E]"Hey! Hey! Unc[A]le Dud,
It's [D]a treat to beat your feet
on the [A]Mississippi Mud.
It's a treat to beat [D]your feet on
the Mississippi Mud".

[Verse 2]
What [Bb]a dance do they do!
[D]Lordy, how [Ebdim]I'm telli[B]n' you
[Em]They don't [F#m]need n[Em]o band
They keep time by [F#m]clappin' their [Em]hand
Just as [G]happy as [Abdim]a cow
[A]chewin' [D]on a [B]cud,
When the [E]people beat their feet
[A]on the Missis[D]sippi Mud.

[Verse 3]
[D]Lordy, how they [G]play it!
[D]Goodness, how they [Em]sway [G]it![Em]
[E]Uncle Joe, Unc[A]le Jim,
How they [D]pound the mire
with vigor [E]and [A]vim!
Joy! that [D]music [G]thrills me!
Boy! [D]it nearly kill[G]s me!
[Em]What [E]a show [A]when they go!
Say! they [D]beat it up either [A]fast or slow.
