Mississippi River Blues - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)
The Mississippi River blues
Oh you Mississippi River
With waters so deep and wide
My thoughts of you keep rising
Just like an evening tide
I'm just like a seagull that's left the sea
Oh your muddy waters they keep on calling me
I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way
You'll see me hanging 'round again some day
'Cause I know that's the only way to lose
The Mississippi River blues
The Mississippi River blues
I've often ridden on your bosom
From Memphis down the New Orleans
Drifting over muddy waters
Floating through familiar scenes
And when I hear that whistle of an old steamboat
Down that Mississippi river again I'm going to float
I'm gonna pack my grip and head that way
You'll see me hanging 'round again some day
'Cause I know that's the only way to lose
That mean old Mississippi River blues
The Mississippi River blues
