Mouth of the Mississippi lyrics
Ah the River
I think I was twelve
No wait I must have been eighteen
Me and my father we had us a time
And had us a hurricane, or two
I don't remember but that's when I knew
It was right then that I knew
That something would be missing
If I wasn't kissing the mouth of the Mississippi
And in the setting sun
See a passing ship
Catfish, got a tonne
And her shore lick her lips in the moonlight
Shinin' on water, see her pearly whites
Hear her sound of laughter
Hear her call
Hear her calling me home
Hear her calling
Hear the mouth of the Mississippi
She's calling me home
By the river
The time rolls by
We stay later than we plan
I couldn't take my eyes off the ferry that rides
To the other side and comes back again
That's when I knew my soul
I knew right down to my soul
The deeper truth had spoken
Spoken to the ocean by the mouth of the Mississippi
Hear her call
Hear her calling me home
Hear her calling
Hear her calling me home
I'm talkin' 'bout the M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-P-P-I
