Child of the Mississippi |
| Son of river man, muddy water’s all I’ve known |
| I was born out on the banks, Mama died when I was young |
| Just before my daddy left, he hollered out at me |
| «Son you’re a child of the Mississippi» |
| My schoolin' was a steamboat, and I was educated well |
| On a sternin' double wheeler, where I learned my rebel yell |
| Then I started roustaboutin' at the age of thirteen |
| Lord, I’m a child of the Mississippi |
| I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home |
| She’s gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms |
| Just a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland |
| Brought up on the banks to be a river man |
| Sweet child of the Mississippi |
| I know every stretch of river, I know every railroad bridge |
| From up in St. Paul Minnesota, down south to the Memphis pyramid |
| Lord she’s and lonesome, and I’ve known since I was a kid |
| I was a child of the Mississippi |
| I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home |
| She’s gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms |
| Just a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland |
| Brought up on the banks to be a river man |
| Sweet child of the Mississippi |
| Well I sure miss my mama, and I even miss ol' Pa |
| But I love that muddy water most of all |
| I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home |
| She’s gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms |
| I was a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland |
| Brought up on the banks to be a river man |
| Sweet child of the Mississippi |
| Sweet child of the Mississippi |
| Sweet child of the Mississippi |
| Sweet child of the Mississippi |
