Skippin' In The Mississippi Dew

歌詞

Well I dream of a girl and a steering wheel steamboat A pilothouse stove and engine room brass Hanging on a post by the maindeck stairway Long hair skippin in the Mississippi dew Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy The river run long after I am gone With the steamboat wheeling on a big wide bend Just skippin in the Mississippi Dew Well I went up the river come way last Sunday Twelve feet of water on the Memphis gage Wouldn't be home without the muddy water rolling Paddle wheel skippin in the Mississippi dew Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy Oh the river run long after I am gone With the steamboat wheelin on a big wide bend Just skippin in the Mississippi Dew Now it used to be Spring I'd ship on the river Thirty five days on a balla [sic] line boat I'd make a little money, get a springtime chicken And take off a skippin in the Mississippi Dew Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy Oh the river run long after I am gone With the steam boat wheelin round a big wide bend Just skippin in the Mississippi dew Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy Oh the river run long after I am gone With the steamboat wheelin round a big wide bend Just skippin in the Mississippi dew
