THE MANISTEE RIVER SONG (James E. Crockett) My daddy was a blind man---although he could see, He raised up my brothers and my sisters and me, He married my mother though it didn't last long, She went to Chicago---and she never came home. (Chorus) And the Manistee River----it runs near my home, And I sit by her banks when I'm feelin' alone, She plays with my spirit---she eases my bones, She's the finest old lady this boy's ever known. So, if you see my mother----you can tell her for me, I'm with a good woman----got a tiny baby, I got cows in the stable---got a nice piece of land, And I go to the river whenever I can. The Manistee River, a favorite of canoeists, is in the northern section of the l ower peninsula of Michigan. Singer/songwriter Jim Crockett performs in Michigan. @river @American filename[ MANISTEE AT |
