about

A change of pace - I slice of American life.

lyrics

On The Mississippi


Somewhere that wheel is turning
Wheel turning on a Riverboat
Somewhere that paddle wheel is turning
Somewhere on the Mississippi

She was winsome in the standing in the spring
Waiting ashore on her wedding day
Fell in love with a gambling man
Who gave up a chance to play

She will be waiting there in the fall
For love’s hand he will never play
He fell flat for a flush in hearts
Shot dead on his wedding day

But time ain’t healing a lover’s tears
He ain’t coming no matter what she prays
Caught in the flow of that ole river
Lover or losers the gambler pays

So if there flies by a caring angel
That lays rest a troubled heart
Pray a good man comes along
And let this river do its part
Pray the river does its part
