Mississippi River Blues Lyrics - Singles - Big Bill Broonzy

Mississ-ippi river 

Is so long, deep and wide 

I can see my good girl 

Standin' on that other side 

I cried an I called 

I could not make my baby hear 

Lord, I'm 'on get me a boat, woman 

Paddle on away from here 

Ain't it hard to love someone 

When they are so far from you 

Lord, I'm on' get me a boat and 

Paddle this old river blue 

I went down to the landing 

To see if any boats were there 

And the fareman told me 

Could not find the boats nowhere
