I bought the Mississippi River

N.C.                             Bm           A       F#*
Of course that don't include the towns or the people around the Mississippi

         B5
Well, to cinch the deal

    B5
The man threw in

  G5
A boat with crew

    G5
And then I knew

    A5
I'd better grab

     A5
That river fast

   B5           B5
It wouldn't last

     B5    B5
They never do

     E5    E5
They never do

F#°                         D* A*
So now I own the Mississippi

N.C.                          Bm          A          F#*
I couldn't decide if I should leave it in there o-or lug it out West with me

             B5
Oh well, the best thing was

   B5
To think about it

G5            G5           A5
Not to make a move I might regret

                A5
'Cause then I'd have to have the

B5    B5    B5        B5
Mississippi sent back East, complete

     E5           E5
With boat and crew

Do rivers ever need companions

N.C.                    Bm        A         F#*
Should I inquire if the Seine is available, yeah, I would rather have

  B5            B5
A classy little Frenchy

G5
Than a Nile or

  G5
A Tybo, oh

    A5
Now wait a minute

     A5       B5    B5
How about the Amazon

    B5         B5
Now that could be

E5   E5
Real fun

For Mississippi (it's yours, all yours)
