[G] [C] The Mississippi [G] River [C] blue Oh, you Mississippi River
[G] With waters so deep and [C] wide My [G] thoughts of you keep rising
Just like an [D] [C] evening tide [F] I'm just like a seagull that's [C] left the sea
Oh, your muddy [G] water They keep on calling [C] me
I'm going to pack my grip and head [F] that way You'll see [C] me hanging round again someday
Cause I know that's the only [G] way to lose The Mississippi [C] River blue
The Mississippi [G]
River blue I've often ridden on your bazaar
[G] From Memphis down to New [C] Orleans [G] Dreaming over muddy waters
Flowing through [A] familiar [C] scenes [Bm] [C] And [F] when I hear the whistle of an old [C] steamboat
[G] Down that Mississippi River Again I'm going to [C] flow
I'm going to pack my grip and head [F] that way You'll [C] see me hanging round again someday
Cause I [G] know that's the [Bm] only way to [G] lose [D] That mean [G] old Mississippi River [C] blue
