MISSISSIPPI RIVER BLUES 
 
(C)Oh you Mississippi River, with (F)waters so deep and (C)wide 
My (G7)thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evening (C)tide  (C7) 
I'm (F)just like a seagull that's left the (C)sea 
Oh your (G7)muddy waters keep on callin' (C)me  (C7) 
 
CHORUS; 
I'm gonna (F)pack my grip and head that way 
You'll see me (C)hanging 'round again some day 
'Cause I know (G7)that's the only way to lose 
The Mississippi River (C)	blues 
 
I've often ridden on your bosom  (C7) 
From (F)Memphis down to New Or(C)leans 
Floating (G7)over muddy waters, drifting through familiar (C)scenes  C7 
And when I (F)hear that whistle of an old steam (C)boat 
Down that (G7)Mississippi River again I'm a-going to (C)float   C7 
 
Repeat Chorus. 
(for last line, substitute: That (C)mean old Mississippi (G7)River (C)Blues 
 
I don't know if this is the same song that "Helen" was looking for.  But it 
sure is the Hank Snow version.   I've been singing it for 20 years or more.
