| Well the day I met you
|
| The Mississippi turned blue
|
| No I never did knew
|
| Things could be so true
|
| Well I know it’s been said
|
| This ole mining town been bled
|
| But I swear it turned red
|
| When I kissed your sweet head
|
| Where did you come from, what’d you do?
|
| Kicked the black dust off my shoes and made them new
|
| Six days a week was all I knew
|
| Til you showed me the seventh when I fell for a girl named you
|
| Six days in the hole
|
| Make a young man old
|
| These walls of black coal
|
| You’ve gone and turned it all to gold
|
| On the Riverboat Queen
|
| It all looks so green
|
| As the winter turn to Spring
|
| You’re the reason I sing |
