MISSISSIPPI RIVER BLUES

	C	F	C
	Oh you Mississippi River, with	waters so deep and	wide

	G7	C	C7
My	thoughts of you keep risin', just like an evening	tide

	F	C
I'm	just like a seagull that's left the	sea

	G7	C	C7
Oh your	muddy waters keep on callin'	me

CHORUS;

	F
I'm gonna	pack my grip and head that way

	C
You'll see me	hanging 'round again some day

	G7
'Cause I know	that's the only way to lose

	C
The Mississippi River	blues

	C7
I've often ridden on your bosom

	F	C
From	Memphis down to New Or	leans

	G7	C	C7
Floating	over muddy waters, drifting through familiar	scenes

	F	C
And when I	hear that whistle of an old steam	boat

	G7	C	C7
Down that	Mississippi River again I'm a-going to	float

Repeat Chorus.

	C	G7	C
(for last line, substitute: That	mean old Mississippi	River	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.
