[Verse 1]
I bought the Mississippi River
Of course that don't include the towns or the people around the Mississippi
[Chorus 1]
Well, to cinch the deal the man with the boat threw
And then I knew I'd better grab that river fast, it wouldn't last
They never do, they never do
It wouldn't last, last, last
[Verse 2]
So now I own the Mississippi
I couldn't decide if I should leave it there or lug it out West with me
[Chorus 2]
The best was to think about it
Not to make a move I might regret
'Cause then I'd have to have the Mississippi
Sent back East, complete with boat and crew
That wouldn't do, do, do
[Refrain]
It's mine, all mine
(It's yours, all yours)
It's mine, all mine
(It's yours, all yours)
It's mine!
