Rosemary Clooney - Swing Around Rosie

Moonlight Mississippi (A Whistle Stop Town)

Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town
They take in the sidewalks when the sun goes down
It's slow as molasses that drips from a can
But Moonlight, Mississippi is the promised land

With that deep south talkin' that's so pleasant to hear
Like corn on the cob, it's mighty sweet on the ear
There's just seven houses and one yellow hound
For Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town

Down 'round the levy where magnolias bloom
I never seen such a place in my life
The air gets so heavy with the sweet perfume
You can cut it up with a knife

At night on each plantation, cotton gleams so darn white
Stars go on vacation, folks don't need a light
The trains don't stop at moonlight unless they're flagged down
For Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town

Moonlight, Mississippi is a whistle-stop town
