From the recording Dreams Will Take You Far
7. Whoo!

Way back in the 1970s, hanging with my mates near the train station, I saw this old fella strutting down the sidewalk in the direction of the train station platform. He was swinging his arms way high as he took each step and walked really slow, like he knew he was a cool dude. I imagined he was making his way to the train to take it to the other side of town where his girlfriend lived. He looked way too cool to let anything bother him, and my imagination took it from there and I ended up with this song.

Whoo!

Mississippi Mud don't move no faster, only gets slower in North Town
Mississippi Mud don't move no faster, only gets slower in North Town
Dance, dance, listen to the music. Dance, dance all night. WHOO!
Mississippi Mud don't move no faster, only gets slower in North Town
I went down to North Town station, take that train to my South Town gal
I went down to North Town station, take that train to my South Town gal
Dance, dance, listen to the music. Dance, dance all night. WHOO!
I went down to North Town station, take that train to my South Town gal
I went down to North Town station, ain't no hurry, train never on time
I went down to North Town station, ain't no hurry, train never on time
Dance, dance, listen to the music. Dance, dance all night. WHOO!
I went down to North Town station, ain't no hurry, train never on time
South Town gal, pretty and fine. Kiss so sweet like cherry wine
South Town gal, pretty and fine. Kiss so sweet like cherry wine
Dance, dance, listen to the music. Dance, dance all night. WHOO!
South Town gal, pretty and fine. Kiss so sweet like cherry wine
North Town train in South Town station, bugger my day, train was on time
North Town train in South Town station, bugger my day, train was on time
Dance, dance, listen to the music. Dance, dance all night. WHOO!
North Town train in South Town station, bugger my day, train was on time
Mississippi Mud don't move no faster, only gets slower in North Town
Mississippi Mud don't move no faster, only gets slower in North Town
Dance, dance, listen to the music. Dance, dance all night. WHOO!
Mississippi Mud don't move no faster, only gets slower in North Town
