African Riff

(Verse 1) Down by the muddy waters, where the cypress trees sway, There's a soulful melody that lingers night and day. With the moonlight dancing on the river's gentle flow, You can hear that sweet old jazz, letting all your troubles go. [Break] (Chorus) Oh, the Mississippi blues, they're calling out to me, With each note that's played, I feel so wild and free. From the Delta to the city, it's a rhythm in my soul, In the heart of this jazz, I find my way to roll. [solo acoustic guitar] [Verse 2] In a smoky juke joint, where the saxophone cries, And the piano keys are tapping under starlit skies. With every trumpet blast, and every bass line low, We're carried on the current of this bluesy, jazzy flow. [Instrumental Interlude] (Chorus) Oh, the Mississippi blues, they're calling out to me, With each note that's played, I feel so wild and free. From the Delta to the city, it's a rhythm in my soul, In the heart of this jazz, I find my way to roll. [Outro]
