[Verse 1]
Mmm, way down upon that old Mississippi River
Not so far away
That's where my folks have lived forever
And that's where they're going to say
[Verse 2]
I've been searching 'cross the whole creation
Half my life and more (And more)
But I've found my own sweet satisfaction
Right here on that muddy river shore
[Chorus]
Oh, the world, it is so sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Oh, Mama, how I miss the prairie
And my Minnesota home
[Verse 3]
I can see my mama's sweet, sweet face every Sunday morning
All the good old hymns, praise God, that we've sung
We knelt in prayer right beside our precious aunts and uncles
Who loved us when we were young
[Verse 4]
In the valley of darkness, they are the shepherds
Who lead me to pastures green
And I'll sit with my mama by the still, still waters
And goodness and mercy follow me
Mmm, way down upon that old Mississippi River
Not so far away
That's where my folks have lived forever
And that's where they're going to say
[Verse 2]
I've been searching 'cross the whole creation
Half my life and more (And more)
But I've found my own sweet satisfaction
Right here on that muddy river shore
[Chorus]
Oh, the world, it is so sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Oh, Mama, how I miss the prairie
And my Minnesota home
[Verse 3]
I can see my mama's sweet, sweet face every Sunday morning
All the good old hymns, praise God, that we've sung
We knelt in prayer right beside our precious aunts and uncles

In the valley of darkness, they are the shepherds
Who lead me to pastures green
And I'll sit with my mama by the still, still waters
And goodness and mercy follow me
