Oh mighty river
The Mississippi
Turbulent waters
Lull me to sleep
Please take my hand
I will go gently
Your arms around me
You'll be my man
The leaves are changin'
I cross this road
To make my last walk
In that warm sunshine
Oh mighty river
Oh Mississippi
Oh all the troubles your banks have seen
Carry their stories from north to south
But round these parts you're westward bound
The factories closin'
Kids have grown so fast
Lift up their woe please
As you flow past
Oh witness river
You have seen it all
Now do your waters
Have room for one more
Oh endless river
As you transcend
Please take me with you
Far from this land
The Mississippi
Turbulent waters
Lull me to sleep
Please take my hand
I will go gently
Your arms around me
You'll be my man
The leaves are changin'
I cross this road
To make my last walk
In that warm sunshine
Oh mighty river
Oh Mississippi
Oh all the troubles your banks have seen
Carry their stories from north to south
But round these parts you're westward bound
The factories closin'
Kids have grown so fast
Lift up their woe please
As you flow past
Oh witness river
You have seen it all
Now do your waters
Have room for one more
Oh endless river
As you transcend
Please take me with you
Far from this land
