Текст пісні
Woke up this morning by the riverside
Mud on my boots and the water running wide
That old river rolling slow and deep
Like a promise it can never keep
Steamboat whistle in the morning rain
Carrying sorrow, carrying pain
Drifting down where the dark waters flow
Lord knows I got nowhere else to go
Got those Mississippi River blues tonight
Moon on the water, pale blue light
That river keeps calling soft and low
Saying"Son, there's a long road left to go"
Fishing lines hanging from a broken pier
Old blues drifting through the humid air
Every mile that river bends
Feels like a road that never ends
Got those Mississippi River blues tonight
Moon on the water, pale blue light
That river keeps calling soft and low
Saying"Son, there's a long road left to go"
