Mississippi Blues Lyrics - Hank Snow

[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 

Oh your [G7]muddy waters keep on callin' [C]me [C7] 

CHORUS; 

I'm gonna [F]pack my grip and head that way 

You'll see me [C]hanging 'round again some day 

'Cause I know [G7]that's the only way to lose 

The Mississippi River [C] blues 

I've often ridden on your bosom [C7] 

From [F]Memphis down to New Or[C]leans 

Floating [G7]over muddy waters, drifting through familiar [C]scenes [C7] 

And when I [F]hear that whistle of an old steam [C]boat 

Down that [G7]Mississippi River again I'm a-going to [C]float [C7] 

Repeat Chorus.
