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 |
