  • Mississippi River Blues by Hank Snow Lyrics



    Oh you Mississippi River, with waters so deep and wide
    My thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evening tide
    I'm just like a seagull that's left the sea
    Oh your muddy waters keep on callin'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
