[D] I'll build me a boat and [A] set the thing afloat and drift down the [D] river side.
Through locks and the bends, the river never ends, a poor boy [Bm] singing my song.
[D] The rain coming, the current's up [A] again, I find time for [D] rolling along.
I got [G] Josephine, she yelled and she [D] screamed, you couldn't haul her all the way to New [G] Orleans.

_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ She creaks and she groans, she rocks and she moans, the dragonfly [Bm] leading my way.
[D] The river, she speaks, and sets my mind at [A] ease, drank all tired for [D] the day.
In Cincinnati [G] town, I took a look [D] around, the river was lovely but I'm Mississippi bound.

[D] The fine things so grand seem the measure of a [A] man, but that just [D] ain't my style.
No it's the river for [G] me, it's south to the [D] sea, ain't no better way for a poor boy to be [G] free.
