Mississippi

Lyrics

Verse Fount of the river Three foot by three I can cross over So easily What's to become of This trickling stream Answers are only known In God's dreams For the Chorus M-I-S-S- I-S-S- I-P-P-I Oh me oh my For the M-I-S-S- I-S-S- I-P-P-I Oh me oh my Verse Young river Trying to breathe You've gotten bigger but Your waters ain't deep Little by little You're picking up steam But don't be impatient Cuz growing ain't cheap For Chorus M-I-S-S- I-S-S- I-P-P-I Oh me oh my For the M-I-S-S- I-S-S- I-P-P-I Oh me oh my Verse Oh rushing river Shake hands with the sea You've carried your cargo From point A to point B From cold Minnesota On thru Tennessee Finally ending up In the Big Easy Oh the Chorus M-I-S-S- I-S-S- I-P-P-I Oh me oh my Oh the M-I-S-S- I-S-S- I-P-P-I Oh me oh my Verse Oh mighty river Wash over me Let your currents remind me Of the powers that be And how all of the greatness That lies inside me Has to develop Like the great Mississippi
