child of the mississippi - old crow medicine show lyrics

Loading...

son of river man, muddy water’s all i’ve known
i was born out on the banks, mama died when i was young
just before my daddy left, he hollered out at me
“son you’re a child of the mississippi”
my schoolin’ was a steamboat, and i was educated well
on a sternin’ double wheeler, where i learned my rebel yell
then i started roustaboutin’ at the age of thirteen
lord, i’m a child of the mississippi

i was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home
she’s gonna rock me like a baby rollin’ in her sweet lovin’ arms
just a barefoot boy born in in dixieland
brought up on the banks to be a river man
sweet child of the mississippi

i know every stretch of river, i know every railroad bridge
from up in st. paul minnesota, down south to the memphis pyramid
lord she’s [?] and lonesome, and i’ve known since i was a kid
i was a child of the mississippi

i was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home
she’s gonna rock me like a baby rollin’ in her sweet lovin’ arms
just a barefoot boy born in in dixieland
brought up on the banks to be a river man
sweet child of the mississippi

well i sure miss my mama, and i even miss ol’ pa
but i love that muddy water most of all

i was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home
she’s gonna rock me like a baby rollin’ in her sweet lovin’ arms
i was a barefoot boy born in in dixieland
brought up on the banks to be a river man
sweet child of the mississippi
sweet child of the mississippi
sweet child of the mississippi
sweet child of the mississippi
