lyrics

Mississippi River
It’s so long deep and wide
I can see my good gal, on that other side

I cried and I called
I could not make my baby hear
I’m goin get me a boat mama, paddle on way from here

I went down to the landing
To see if any boats were there
And the ferryman told me could not find no boats nowhere

Ain’t it hard to love someone
When they are so far from you
Gonna get me a boat mama, paddle this river through

That big boat is up the river,
She’s on a bar of sand,
If she don’t strike deep water, I believe she’ll never land

That big boat Is up the river
Aww, turning round and round,
Gonna get me a good gal, or jump overboard and drown.
