[Verse 1]
Oh, you Mississippi River
With water 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
They keep on calling me
[Chorus]
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
[Slide Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I've often ridden on your bosom
From Memphis to New Orleans
Over muddy waters
Flowing through familiar scenes
And when I hear the whistle
Of an old steamboat
Down that Mississippi river
Again I'm going to float
Oh, you Mississippi River
With water 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
They keep on calling me
[Chorus]
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
[Slide Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I've often ridden on your bosom
From Memphis to New Orleans
Over muddy waters
Flowing through familiar scenes
And when I hear the whistle
Of an old steamboat
Down that Mississippi river
Again I'm going to float
