文本歌词

Mississippi River what a fix you left me in
Old Mississippi River what a fix you left me in
Mudholes of water clear up to my chin
House without a steeple didn't even have a door
House without a steeple didn't even have a door
Plain old two room shanty but it was my home sweet home
Ma and pa got drownded Mississippi you the blame
My ma and pa got drownded Mississippi you the blame
Mississippi River I can't stand to hear your name
Homeless yes I'm homeless might as well be dead
Oh you know I'm homeless might as well be dead
Hungry and disgusted no place to lay my head
Wish I was an eagle but I'm a plain old black crow
Wish I was an eagle but I'm a plain old black crow
I'm gonna flap my wings and leave here and never come back no more
