Mississippi river blues From: kendall Does anyone know a song that goes: Oh you Mississippi river, with waters so deep and wide, My thoughts of you keep rising, just like an evening tide.... I think it was a Jimmy Rodgers song, also done by Hank Snow. |

Mississippi river blues From: John MacKenzie Mississippi River Blues Hank Snow Oh, you Mississippi River with waters so deep and wide My thoughts of you keep rising just like an evening tide I'm just like a seagull that's left the sea Oh, your muddy waters keep on calling me I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way You'll see me hanging 'round again some day 'Cause I know that's the only way to lose The Mississippi River blues I've often ridden on your bosom from Memphis down to New Orleans Floating over muddy waters, drifting through familiar scenes And when I hear that whistle of an old steamboat Down that Mississippi river again, I'm a going to float I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way You'll see me hanging 'round again some day 'Cause I know that's the only way to lose That mean old Mississippi River blues |
