>> Anybody know of a verse for Missississsisisisippi Mud?  The Rhythm
>> Boys do a version featured on YouTube where the tempo changes and the

> Dear Bud,

> The observation that "Lordy, how they play it" etc. ...fits better after 
> the Chorus.
> That is because it is the 'interlude'.
> The "I left my sugar standing in the rain" part is a bit of patter 
> unrelated to the Harry Barris composition and is based on the song, "I 
> Left My Sugar Standing In The Rain", composed by Sammy Fain and Irving 
> Kahal.
> This version of "Mississippi Mud" is rare and always left out of Paul 
> Whiteman discographies because it is 'vocal with piano accompaniment'.
> It can be found, occasionally, under Bing Crosby's name. I have it on LP, 
> but not on CD. Yet.
> Very kind regards,
