Mississippi River

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.
