Oh Mississippi

oh mighty river

the mississippi's

turbulent waters

lull me to sleepplease take my hand

i will go softly

your arms around me

you'll be my manthe leaves are changin'

i cross this road

to make my last walk

in that warm sunshineoh mighty river

oh mississippi

oh all the troubles your banks have seencarry their stories from north to south

but 'round these parts you're westward boundthe factories closin'

kids have grown so fast

lift up their woe please

as you flow pastoh witness river

you have seen it all

now do your waters

have room for one moreoh endless river

as you transcend

please take me with you

far from this land
