Oh, what did Missis-sip, boy? What did Missis-sip?
What did Missis-sip, boy, through her pretty lips?

Oh, where has Ore-gone, boy? Where has Ore-gone?
If you want, Alaska; Alaska where she's gone.

She went to pay her Texas; that's where she has gone.

Oh, what did Delaware, boy? What did Delaware?
