about
"Mississippi Line was a jam that sort of exploded into a bit of country rock, with a blistering solo from Steve. Martin’s slightly insane vocals and lyrics are based on the train Line sketch in Blazing Saddles. (‘This Mississippi Line is dead, We have got to spend our days in bed.) If you listen carefully, my bass line is 'Three Little Fishes.' Steve’s solo —around which the whole song is based —is absolutely phenomenal. In the studio, we added the barbershop section, with Martin, Tilly and I singing it."

lyrics
Working on the Mississippi
Working on the Mississippi
Working on the Mississippi Line.
Well I've been working hard on the steam train line
Everybody's having such a good time
But me I'm a lazy guy.
This life's a drag.
Hey now brothers I had an idea
Come on let's sing loud and clear.
Hey now son we're gonna have good fun
Working on the Mississippi Line.
[chorus]
Working, I said I'm working
Working hard gonna spend my time
Working on the Mississippi Line.
[Repeat]
Hey now brothers, hey now sisters
Come on we gotta sing it loud.
Hey now we have gotta sing it loud
Working on the Mississippi Line.
[chorus]
Working, working, working, working yeah
Working, Working, working yeah.
Working hard working,
Working hard working.
We’ve got to act hard working on the Mississippi Line.
This Mississippi Line is dead,
Now we have got to spend our days in bed.
We got to work hard, yeah, yeah,
We got to work hard on the Mississippi Line yeah.
We’ve got to work on hard
Working on the Mississippi Line.
Working, I said I’m working...
