Hank Snow - Mississippi Blues Lyrics

[C]Oh you Mississippi River, with [F]waters so deep and [C]wide

My [G7]thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evening [C]tide [C7]

I'm [F]just like a seagull that's left the [C]sea

Oh your [G7]muddy waters keep on callin' [C]me [C7]



CHORUS;

I'm gonna [F]pack my grip and head that way

You'll see me [C]hanging 'round again some day

'Cause I know [G7]that's the only way to lose

The Mississippi River [C] blues



I've often ridden on your bosom [C7]

From [F]Memphis down to New Or[C]leans

Floating [G7]over muddy waters, drifting through familiar [C]scenes [C7]

And when I [F]hear that whistle of an old steam [C]boat

Down that [G7]Mississippi River again I'm a-going to [C]float [C7]



Repeat Chorus.



for last line, substitute: That [C]mean old Mississippi [G7]River [C]Blues
