I Bought The Mississippi River

I bought the

Mississippi

River Of course that don't include the towns or the people around the

Mississippi

Well, to cinch the deal the man threw in a boat with crew and then

I knew I'd better grab that river fast

It wouldn't last

They never do, they never do

It wouldn't last, last, last

So now I own the

Mississippi

I couldn't decide if

I should leave it there or lug it out

West with me

The best thing was to think about it, not to make a move

I might regret cause then

I'd have to have the

Mississippi sent back

East, complete with boat and crew

That wouldn't do, do, do

It's mine, all mine (You know, it's yours, all yours)

It's mine, all mine (You know, it's yours, all yours)

Do rivers ever need companions

Should I enquire if the

Seine is available, yeah,

I would rather have a classy little

Frenchy than a

Nile or a

Tybo, oh Now wait a minute, how about the

Amazon, now that could be real fun

For Mississippi, for

Mississippi, for

Mississippi,

My Mississippi

I hope that

I didn't make an error

I hope this ain't a lot more trouble than it's all really worth
