Mississippi River Blues

Mississippi River Blues - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·羅傑斯)

The Mississippi River blues

Oh you Mississippi River

With waters 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

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

The Mississippi River blues

I've often ridden on your bosom

From Memphis down the New Orleans

Drifting over muddy waters

Floating through familiar scenes

And when I hear that whistle of an old steamboat

Down that Mississippi river again I'm 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
