Mississipppi River Blues - Hank Snow

Oh you Mississippi River, with waters so deep and wide

My thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evening tide

I’m just like a seagull that’s left the sea

Oh your muddy waters keep on callin’me

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

I’ve often ridden on your bosom

From Memphis down to New Orleans

Floating over muddy waters, drifting through familiar scenes

And when I hear that whistle of an old steam boat

Down that Mississippi River again I’m a-going to float

Repeat Chorus.

for last line, substitute: That mean old Mississippi River Blues
