Lyrics

Oh Mississippi

Oh mighty river

The Mississippi

Turbulent waters

Lull me to sleep

Please take my hand

I will go gently

Your arms around me

You’ll be my man

The leaves are changin’

I cross this road

To make my last walk

In that warm sunshine

Oh mighty river

Oh Mississippi

Oh all the troubles your banks have seen

Carry these stories from north to south

But round these parts you’re westward bound

The factories closin’

Kids have grown so fast

Lift up their woe please

As you flow past

Oh witness river

You have seen it all

Now do your waters

Have room for one more

Oh endless river

As you transcend

Please take me with you

Far from this land
