Mississippi River Blues

Never No Mo' Blues - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·羅傑斯)

The Mississippi River Blues

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

I'm going to pack my grip and head that way

You'll see me hanging around 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 to New Orleans

Dreaming 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

I'm going to pack my grip and head that way

You'll see me hanging around again some day

'Cause I know that's the only way to lose

The mean old Mississippi River Blues
