Mississippi River Blues

[00:22.08] Mississ-ippi river
[00:24.38] Is so long, deep and wide
[00:29.46] I can see my good girl
[00:33.03] Standin' on that other side
[00:37.49]
[00:39.63] I cried an I called
[00:44.74] I could not make my baby hear
[00:49.57] Lord, I'm 'on get me a boat, woman
[00:53.35] Paddle on away from here
[00:55.39] Ain't it hard to love someone
[01:24.78] When they are so far from you
[01:29.73] Lord, I'm on' get me a boat and
[01:33.36] Paddle this old river blue
[01:37.19]
[01:39.70] I went down to the landing
[01:44.77] To see if any boats were there
[01:49.88] And the fareman told me
[01:52.71] Could not find the boats nowhere
[01:57.47]
[02:19.77] The big boat ease up the river
[02:24.70] Are turnin' 'round an 'round
[02:29.66] Lord, I'm 'on get me a good girl
[02:33.34] Or jump overboard an drown
[02:35.44]
