River Chanty |
| Watch that towhead over to larboard |
| Mark three, quarter less three |
| Watch that snag now over to starboard |
| Half twain, quarter less twain |
| Now we’re sliding, stern’s coming round |
| Miss that bar where the Mississippi Lady went aground |
| Ride us easy, easy river |
| Mark twain, quarter twain, quarter less twain, mark twain |
| Where you been, river? |
| Where you goin' today? |
| What you bringin' me river, river |
| What you takin' away? |
| What you bringin' me river, river |
| What you takin' away? |
| Ride us easy, father of waters |
| Easy, whisperin' river |
| Ride us easy, easy, whisperin' Mississippi |
| Whisperin' easy, whisperin' |
| Here’s snow from the high sierras |
| Here’s cloud from Soo San Marie |
| Here springs from the roofs of the ranges |
| Washing down to the sea |
| What towns you been drowning, river? |
| What lands adding on today? |
| What you bringin' me, river, river |
| What you takin' away? |
| Here’s water from glacier mountains |
| Here’s water from lakes and plains |
| The world’s longest drink of water |
| From God only knows what rains |
| Who you been stealin' from, river? |
| Who you been friendin' today? |
| What you bringin' me, river, river |
| What you takin' away? |
| Watch that towhead over to larboard |
| Mark three, quarter less three |
| Watch that snag now over to starboard |
| Half twain, quarter less twain |
| Quarter twain, quarter less twain, mark twain |
