Oh you Mississippi river with waters so deep and wide
G7
C
My thoughts of you keep rising just like an evening tide
F
C
I’m just like a seagull that’s left the sea
G7
C
Oh your muddy waters keep on calling me
F
I’m gonna pack my grip and head that way
C
You’ll see me hanging round again some day
G7
Cause I know that’s the only way to lose
C
The Mississippi river blues
F
C
I’ve often ridden on your bosom from Memphis down to New Orleans
G7
C
Floating over muddy waters drifting through familiar scenes
F
C
And when I hear that whistle of an old steam boat
G7
C
Down that Mississippi river again I’m a going to float
F
I’m gonna pack my grip and head that way
C
You’ll see me hanging round again some day
G7
Cause I know that’s the only way to lose
C
The Mississippi river blues
