Missisipi River Blues |
| Mississ-ippi river |
| Is so long, deep and wide |
| I can see my good girl |
| Standin' on that other side |
| I cried an I called |
| I could not make my baby hear |
| Lord, I’m 'on get me a boat, woman |
| Paddle on away from here |
| Ain’t it hard to love someone |
| When they are so far from you |
| Lord, I’m on' get me a boat and |
| Paddle this old river blue |
| I went down to the landing |
| To see if any boats were there |
| And the fareman told me |
| Could not find the boats nowhere |
| The big boat ease up the river |
| Are turnin' 'round an 'round |
| Lord, I’m 'on get me a good girl |
| Or jump overboard an drown |
