Oh Mississippi
Oh mighty riverThe MississippiTurbulent watersLull me to sleep
Please take my handI will go gentlyYour arms around meYoull be my man
The leaves are changinI cross this roadTo make my last walkIn that warm sunshine
Oh mighty riverOh MississippiOh all the troubles your banks have seen
Carry their stories from north to southBut round these parts youre westward bound
The factories closinKids have grown so fastLift up their woe pleaseAs you flow past
Oh witness riverYou have seen it allNow do your watersHave room for one more
Oh endless riverAs you transcendPlease take me with youFar from this land
