Mississippi-line


Working on a barge down in New OrleansSpending all money on cajun queens
Working from the morning till the end of dayThat's when I go out to play
Working on the Muddy Mississippi LineThey pay me ten dollars and I don't save a dime
But I always seem to make enough to see me through
And I bet you five dollars I'm as happy as you
Working on the Muddy Mississippi LineWorking on the Muddy Mississippi LineI've got a lot of friends down in New OrleansWorking on the docks loadin' coffee beans
Harder working people who will lend you a handThey'll help you any way they can
My daddy was a Mississippi river man
My mama was cajun from the heart of the land
They taught me how to love the Mississippi mud
Now this Mississippi water flows in my blood
Working on the Muddy Mississippi LineWorking on the Muddy Mississippi LineI love the Mississippi like it was my home
As long as I remember it's been my home
When you're riding on the Muddy Mississippi LineI know it's kind of muddy but it sure looks fine
Working on the Muddy Mississippi LineWorking on the Muddy Mississippi Line

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
