“Mississippi” is a song by Train from the album Drops of Jupiter. According to lead singer and songwriter Pat Monahan, this song was written as a tribute to Jeff Buckley:

“At the time that we were touring that first album [1998’s Train], we were listening to a lot of Jeff Buckley’s Grace. When Jeff Buckley died in the Mississippi River [in 1997], he was on his way to making his second record. He had an impact on us, and so that song is like a love song, about the fact that such a beautiful artist was lost in a beautiful river. It was a tragedy.
