Mississippi River
Greg Connor
Pleasure boats and fishermen
Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening
Wave to the people as they pass me by
Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold
Walleye fishing just below the dam
Go and catch em til I’m way too old
Real them in fast as I can
Mississippi River, she’s my lady
Sit on the banks and watch her flow
Sometimes high water just drives me crazy
It don’t matter cause I love her so
Take me down to that point of entry
Louisiana where I never been
Creole cooking just makes me hungry
Gonna have to party with them old Cajuns
The percussion section is exceptionally groovy. Great job on the harmonica. Well, really, all of it is great.
BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals and helping the lyrics along: http://alonetone.com/koehl/tracks/jazz-it-up-connor-bear
heard some warbling going on in there. Some of your famous head shaken'? haha Nice harp and song in general
Ooh.. I need some red beans and rice after that! Lyrics remind me of John Hartford.
What a great collection of sounds! A fabulous rhythm section, however you did it. Delightful lyrics. And, as always, delicious job on vocals. Way to go, Greg!
