(NUMBER 1 1976)
Well you can hear the country song from far,
And someone plays the honky tonky tonk,
Where all the lights go on one by one,
People enjoying the sun,
And the wind takes it all away,
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the see,
And lovers found the place they like to be,
How many times before this song was ending,
Love and understanding everywhere around.
Mississippi, I'll remember you,
Whenever I shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greenvale again,
Mississippi you'llbe on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along untilthe end of time.
Now the country song forever lost it's soul,
When the guitar player turns to rock'n'roll,
And everytime when summer nights are falling,
I always will be calling,
Dreams of yesterday.
Mississippi, I'll remember you,
WheneverI shall go away,
I'll be longing for the day,
When I will be in Greenvale again,
Mississippi you'll be on my mind,
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.
Everytime I hear this song,
Mississippi rolls along until the end of time.
ahhhhhh.....this brings back great memories

1976 was one of the best years ever if you were a kid. If you didnt live in chelsea nobody in this country noticed the so called swingin 60s, but we all sure as hell enjoyed the 1970s. Long may it live special!

Thanks for posting one of my lifelong favourite songs! I've been watching Top Of The Pops 1976 on BBC4 this year. I hope the BBC do another year of the show throughout 2012, it's been a wonderful slice of my childhood.
