The story behind the song

"Mississippi" captures a deep longing for a simpler past, a time and place where you could hear a country song from afar, and the river rolled down to the sea. The lyrics speak of remembering those cherished moments, always calling back to dreams of yesterday, even when far away. Written by Werner Theunissen, who was inspired by the Bee Gees' "Massachusetts," this song became a signature hit for the Dutch country pop band Pussycat. It's a tune that evokes nostalgia for a home that lives on in memory, no matter where life takes you.

[Verse 1]

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 join the song

C7 F

and the wind takes it away

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Miii....iiii ... ssissippi,

I'll remember you, whenever I should go away
