[C]Oh you Mississippi River, with [F]waters so deep and [C]wide. My [G7]thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evening [C]tide [C7]. I'm [F]just like a seagull that's left the [C]sea.
How many teardrops have I cried over you. A million and one tears a million and two. How many nighttimes have my arms reached for you. A million and one times a million and two.

MERRY-GO ROUND OF LOVE. . (CHORUS) Here we go a round---, the merry go round. The merry go round---, the merry go round of love. Round and a round----,the merry go round.

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained. Took us all the way to New Orleans.

Maria Elena you're the answer to a prayer. Maria Elena can't you see how much I care. To me your voice is like the echo of a sigh. And when you're near my heart can't speak above a sigh.
