Skippin' In The Mississippi Dew

Skippin' In The Mississippi Dew

(albüm: Mark Twang - 1976)

Well, I dream of a girl and a steering wheel steamboat
A pilothouse stove and engine room brass
Hanging on a post by the main deck stairway
Long hair skipping in the Mississippi dew

Oh, the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
The river run long after I am gone
With the steamboat wheeling on a big wide bend
Just skipping in the Mississippi dew

Well, I went up the river come way last Sunday
Twelve feet of water on the Memphis gauge
Wouldn't be home without the muddy water rolling
Paddle wheel skipping in the Mississippi dew

Oh, the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh, the river run long after I am gone
With the steamboat wheeling on a big wide bend
Just skipping in the Mississippi dew

Now it used to be Spring I'd ship on the river
Thirty five days on a balla... line boat
I'd make a little money, get a springtime chicken
And take off a skipping in the Mississippi dew

Oh, the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh, the river run long after I am gone
With the steam boat wheeling round a big wide bend
Just skipping in the Mississippi dew

Oh, the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh, the river run long after I am gone
With the steamboat wheeling round a big wide bend
Just skipping in the Mississippi dew
