| Sailing down the Mississippi
Chewing on a plug of hay Just ain't nothing like my river On such a beautiful day Brother Jim lying right beside me Everything's feeling just fine 'Cause where as free as the river We up boat and go faithful by each other side The sun fields mighty good this morning Gonna be a good day I can see Its gently rays are mighty warmin' Why don't you come along with us Jim and see me Plenty of fish to make good eatin' Lots of room upon my the raft Now that your [sic] friends with the river Maybe you'll never go back Put down the load you been carrying Follow me & don't look back Jim's just about got supper cookin' Plenty of room upon the raft Forget about time for there's no reason To worry about things like that The days just melt into seasons There is no future or past Summer sky is our roof top Beds are made out of Traveling on just another mile Don't think I'm ever gonna stop Can't do nothing know [sic] but smile and smile I'm goin' back to mountain country Back where a man own brake I'm back to mountain country To get my living soul from The girls they got twice as pretty Once you leave New York City forever 3rd verse-The sun But down in town you been sorry Follow me don't look back Cotton on a Virginia hillside Chosen and peer [sic] is this Dirt hardens before the rainstorm On such a beautiful day Supper is just what's cooking O my mountain woman's mighty good lookin' |
