Here's to Sam Hastings and Mississippi too! (16)

[Verse 1] Down in Mississippi, where Delta rivers flow, Sam Hastings joined I.B.M., forty years ago. With a stalwart heart, and courage none could stem, Built our emporium, the heart of I.B.M. [Chorus] Let us toast Sam Hastings, huzzahs we raise today! Ever onward, we march on, Watson’s band we say! From the Delta to the world, his zeal will lead the way, Let the welkin ring for Sam, Mississippi’s pride always! [Verse 2] In the Delta’s glow, his indefatigable flame, Lit the path for I.B.M., with ardour none could tame. Sam's plucky toil shone clear through trials near and far, Guided us to triumph beneath the Delta stars. [Chorus - Swing Jazz Style with added swing, encouraging audience claps] Let us toast Sam Hastings, huzzahs we raise today! Ever onward, we march on, Watson’s band we say! From the Delta to the world, his zeal will lead the way, Let the welkin ring for Sam, Mississippi’s pride always!
