Virtual Jam Session - "Mississippi Mud"

Jam to "Mississippi Mud"

---

Here is a Dixieland classic, "Mississippi Mud".  This is a frolicking, happy song that moves at a good clip.  The changes are not terribly dense, but the chord sequence isn't completely conventional either.
The song form is, roughly speaking, AABBAA.  The first A is 10 bars.  The second A is similar, but 12 bars.  The B section is a minor interlude of 8+8 bars.
Don't get too analytical.  It is just a fun song.  Learn the melody and everything else fall into place.

The lyrics are:
A:  When the sun goes down, the tide goes out, the people gather round and they all
begin to shout.
Hey, Hey Uncle Dud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud.
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud.

A: What a dance do they do.
Lordy how I'm tellin' you.
They don't need no band.
They keep time by clapping their hands.
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud.
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud.

B: Lordy how they play it.
Goodness how they sway it.
Uncle Joe, uncle Jim!
How they pound that mire with vigor and vim.

B: Joy it nearly kills me.
Boy that music trills me.
What a show when they go.
Say they beat it up either fast or slow.

A:  When the sun goes down ... (as before)
