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
