Mississippi River (Long and Wide)
[Verse 1]
I think it's past time
"Hey, goodbye"
Pulled on the river 'til it made a line
[Verse 2]
Made a boat so fine
Of sugar pine
Lost all the sweetness when it hit the brine
[Verse 3]
River turned to white
Fish all died
Drank every bottle of your poured-out wine
[Verse 4]
To the river cry
"Why, oh why?"
Now I'll go hungry 'til my boat's all dry
