Mississippi River, what a fix you left me in

Old Mississippi River, what a fix you left me in

Mudholes of water, clear up to my chin
House without a steeple didn't even have a door

House without a steeple didn't even have a door

Plain old two room shanty but it was my home sweet home
Ma and Pa got drownded, Mississippi, you're the blame
My Ma and Pa got drownded, Mississippi, you're the blame

Mississippi River, I can't stand to hear your name
♪
Homeless, yes, I'm homeless, might as well be dead
Oh, you know I'm homeless, homeless, might as well be dead
Hungry and disgusted, no place to lay my head
Wish I was an eagle, but I'm a plain old black crow
♪
Wish I was an eagle, but I'm a plain old black crow
I'm gonna flap my wings and leave here, and never come back no more
