"Mississippi" is a song by Dutch country pop band Pussycat. Written by Werner Theunissen and produced by Eddy Hilberts, "Mississippi" was the group's first number-one single in their home country, as well as their only number-one single in most countries worldwide. In New Zealand and South Africa, however, "Mississippi" was their first of two number-one singles; in the latter country, "Mississippi" was the best-selling single of 1977.

Werner Theunissen wrote "Mississippi" in 1969 being inspired by the Bee Gees song "Massachusetts". The song grabbed EMI Bovema's attention, and they decided to sign the band. By December 1975, the song had topped the Dutch Singles Chart. Its international success came in 1976, when it reached number one in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as well as number two in Australia, number four in Austria, and number six in Sweden. In South Africa, "Mississippi" was the highest-selling single of 1977. It is estimated to have sold five million copies worldwide. Outside the Netherlands, Pussycat would later achieve more number-one singles in New Zealand and South Africa, but in most territories, "Mississippi" was their highest-charting effort.
In the UK, the song was promoted by John Saunders Hughes through a Liverpool radio station The lyrics are about the history of music, and how rock music became more popular than country music.

My guitar cover was a request for Luis lira in Chile who says it’s a very popular song in Chile.
Thanks Luis for the suggestion.

Played on my Fender custom 56nos Stratocaster with Kinman impersonator 54 v3 pickups to a Backing track from Karaoke version here :-

Lyrics

Where you can hear a country song this fall
And someone plays a honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out, one by one
The people join the song and the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found a place they'd like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding, everywhere around
Mississippi, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi, you roll along until the end of time.
Now the country song, forever lost its soul
When the guitar player turned to Rock 'n' Roll
And everytime when summer nights are falling
I always will be calling,
Dreams of yesterday.
Mississippi, I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi, you'll be on my mind
Everytime I hear this song
Mississippi, you roll along until the end of time.
Everytime i hear this song
Mississippi, you roll along until the end of time.
