Hank Snow – Mississippi River Blues (Guitar)

       A                       D                  A
Oh you Mississippi river, with waters so deep and wide

   E                            E7                   A
My thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evenin' tide

    D                                    A
I'm just like a seagull, that's left the sea

        E             E7              A
Oh your muddy waters, keep on callin' me

          D
I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way

              A
You'll see me hanging 'round again someday

               E                      E7
'Cause I know, that's the only way to lose

                      A
The Mississippi river blues

| E7 | E7 | E7 | A  |
(pattern verse & chorus)

     A                                D                     A
I've often ridden on your bosom, from Memphis down to New Orleans

         E                  E7                        A
Floating over muddy waters, drifting through familiar scenes

           D                                       A
And when I hear sound the whistle, of an old steam boat

          E                   E7                   A
Down that Mississippi river, again I must going to float

          D
I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way

              A
You'll see me hanging 'round again someday

               E                      E7
'Cause I know, that's the only way to lose

     A
That mean ol' Mississippi river blues
