[Verse 1]
       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
 
[Chorus]
          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

[Verse 2]
     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
 
[Chorus]
          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
