Oh Mississippi

oh mighty river the mississippi's turbulent waters lull me to sleep please take my hand i will go softly your arms around me you'll be my man the leaves are changin' i cross this road to make my last walk in that warm sunshine oh mighty river oh mississippi oh all the troubles your banks have seen carry their stories from north to south but 'round these parts you're westward bound the factories closin' kids have grown so fast lift up their woe please as you flow past oh witness river you have seen it all now do your waters have room for one more oh endless river as you transcend please take me with you far from this land
