[Verse 1]
A D Son of river man, muddy water's all I've known A Bm Em I was born out on the banks, Mama died when I was young E A D Bm Just before my daddy left, he hollered out at me A "Son you're a child of the Mississippi" D My schoolin' was a steamboat, and I was educated well A B E On a sternin' double wheeler, where I learned my rebel yell A D B Then I started roustaboutin' at the age of thirteen A E A Lord, I'm a child of the Mississippi
[Chorus]
Em A I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home Em A She's gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms D B Just a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland A F# Brought up on the banks to be a river man B E A Sweet child of the Mississippi
[Verse 2]
A D I know every stretch of river, I know every railroad bridge A B E From up in St. Paul Minnesota, down south to the Memphis pyramid A D B Lord she's proud and she's lonesome, and I've known since I was a kid A E A I was a child of the Mississippi
[Chorus]
Em A I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home Em A She's gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms D B Just a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland A F# Brought up on the banks to be a river man B E Sweet child of the Mississippi
