The New Christy Minstrels — Mighty Mississippi

    	    	Вступление

[Chorus]
C                          G
Mighty Mississippi, roll a-long,
C                       G
  Lazy river, sing your song,
               B7     C
And it's away, Dixie, steady as you go
        G               D7          G
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico

[Verse 1]
    C                              G
Oh! ol' man river keeps on callin' me;
            C                                  G
Guess there ain't no place on earth I'd rather be,
                      B7            C
Well it's Greenville, Vicksburg and Natchez down the line;
     G                  D7             G
It's fare-thee-well ol' Memphis, Tennessee.

[Chorus]
C                          G
Mighty Mississippi, roll a-long,
C                       G
  Lazy river, sing your song,
               B7     C
And it's away, Dixie, steady as you go
        G               D7          G
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico

[Verse 2]
        C                              G
Well, I used to ride aboard that River Queen;
       C                             G
It was many a game of fortune I have seen.
                  B7            C
Oh, once I lost a million and I won it back again
       G              D7             G
On the way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

[Chorus]
C                          G
Mighty Mississippi, roll a-long,
C                       G
  Lazy river, sing your song,
               B7     C
And it's away, Dixie, steady as you go
        G               D7      G
On your way down to the Gulf my honey
            D7      G
Down to the Gulf my baby!
            D7          G
Down to the Gulf of Mexico
NC
"One more time!"
        G               D7          G
On your way down to the Gulf of Mexico
