I Bought the Mississippi River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I bought the Mississippi River Of course that don't include the towns Or the people around the Mississippi [Chorus 1] Well, to cinch the deal the man with the 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 [Verse 2] So now I own the Mississippi I couldn't decide if I should leave it there Or lug it out west with me [Chorus 2] Well, the best 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 [Refrain] It's mine, all mine (It's yours, all yours) It's mine, all mine (It's yours, all yours) It's mine! [Verse 3] Do rivers ever need companions? Should I inquire if the Seine is available? Yeah, I would rather have [Chorus 3] 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, Mississippi (It's yours, all yours) My Mississippi, my oh my (It's yours, all yours)
