Mississippi River Blues

Jimmie Rodgers

[Verse 1]
Oh, you Mississippi River
With water so deep and wide
My thoughts of you keep rising
Just like an evening tide
I'm just like a seagull
That's left the sea
Oh, your muddy waters
They keep on calling me

[Chorus]
I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way
You'll see me hanging 'round again some day
'cause I know that's the only way to lose
The Mississippi River blues

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I've often ridden on your bosom
From Memphis to New Orleans
Over muddy waters
Flowing through familiar scenes
And when I hear the whistle
Of an old steamboat
Down that Mississippi river
Again I'm going to float

[Chorus]
I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way
You'll see me hanging 'round again some day
'cause I know that's the only way to lose
The Mississippi River blues
