Mighty Mississippi

Randy Sparks

[Chorus]
Mighty Mississippi, roll along
Lazy river, sing your song
And it's away, Dixie, steady as you go
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico

[Verse 1]
Oh, ol' man river keeps on callin' me
Yes, there ain't no place on earth I'd rather be
Well, it's Greenville, Vicksburg and Natchez down the line
It's fare-thee-well ol' Memphis, Tennessee, yeah

[Chorus]
Mighty Mississippi, roll along
Lazy river, sing your song
And it's away, Dixie, steady as you go
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico

[Verse 2]
Well, I used to ride aboard that River Queen
You know, it's many a game of fortune I have seen
Oh, once I lost a million and I won it back again
On the way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans

[Chorus]
Mighty Mississippi, roll along
Lazy rivеr, sing your song
And it's away, Dixie, steady as you go
On your way down to the Gulf, my honеy!
On your way down to the Gulf, my baby!
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico
One more time!
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico
